Since the arrival of the Portuguese, a painful process of new formation of society has been established in Brazil. Thus, the multiculturalism present in the country is rooted in the suffering of our ancestors. It is in this scenario that the miscegenation process is shown as one of the most inhuman situations imposed on enslaved Africans and Indians. This hierarchical process between the races established a complex system that is still very strong today. It is in this context that the series To become presents cuts of Brazilian social formation in what involves miscegenation, identities and fragmentation. I used brown kraft paper as a support, also called brown paper, to raise such questions that involve the complexity of the term brown, as well as the use of self-portrait for seeing me since childhood in these identity conflicts.
