Movimento III – Celebration | Post-Tsunami Foams

Movimento III - Celebration | Post-Tsunami Foams is to speculate our future as Black bodies. The work investigates celebration as a discipline, a tactic. Celebrating as a way of coping with reality by surviving with dignity. Celebration is not the cure, but the path. Three localities intersect: Bela Vista, Helsinki and São Paulo. More than geographical places, they are places of non-linear time, of the intersection of existences, memories, futures to come.
