Dialoguing between embodiment, ritual and resistance, Rhythms of Resistance undertakes an artistic survey of the multiplicity of ways in which the performance aesthetics of resistance offered by Capoeira and Vogue functions as rhythmic strategies of liberation for Black, LGBTQIAPN+ and other historically oppressed bodies. We believe that the opposite of dispossessed is embodied, positioning the body as key to unlocking the transformative potential of these practices of transgressive self-authorship. Offline and online provocations, augmented by digital innovation, will culminate in the production of an art film and an original sonograph, accompanied by an educational series and codex of text anthologising the process.

Puma Camille Produções x Arte Radical e Raízes Interculturais:: Um diálogo entre corporificação, ritual e resistência. O projeto explora as múltiplas formas pelas quais as estéticas performáticas de resistência, expressas através da Capoeira e do Vogue, atuam como estratégias rítmicas de libertação para corpos negros, LGBTQIAPN e outros historicamente oprimidos. Acreditamos que a antítese do despossuído é o corpo plenamente corporificado, posicionando-o como a chave para desbloquear o potencial transformador dessas práticas de autoria transgressiva.
