#without leaves there is no life. dense sliding waters
Born in Pilão Arcado-BA, 1989. Lives and lives in the São Francisco Valley between the cities of Juazeiro-BA and Petrolina-PE.
Transient black body. Bixa preta candomblecista – compiles the Bantu diasporas in the transatlantic he inhabits. Model territories and create images using the body as a support for intend urgent agendas. In his research he navigates the fresh waters that flow into the sea; thinking about the sertanejas-ribeirinhas negritudes that traverse the rough and fertile territory of the sertão. how to build identities from denial?
His works are ebós, he studies the Afro-Brazilian epistemic materialization described through the signs corresponding to the freedoms and permanence - existence -, of the black people in the course of the turbid and tidal waters back to possible Africas.
Develops research in art from the collective memory and its densities - as foundation and methodology of teachings and enchantments embodied in the oral knowledge and circular daily practices.
It carries knowledge collected in an Orí de Clay.
