Concrete Visibility
Queer Performativities in Urban Space
For the LGBTQIA+ community, borders take on multiple and complex dimensions: they are the invisible boundaries between familial acceptance and rejection, between visibility and forced concealment, between the normative codes of cisheteronormativity and dissident experiences that question established binaries.
Queer bodies permanently inhabit these liminal zones, creating alternative territorialities that challenge conventional social structures and produce new possibilities for existence and political resistance. In this context, the street ceases to be a thoroughfare and becomes a stage for affective insurgency. Every scene, every captured gesture, evokes the power of bodies that assert themselves as alive, critical, and celebrated—bodies that insist on occupying spaces historically denied to them.
The materiality of concrete, marked by graffiti, posters, and banners, serves as the foundation for a politics of visibility: the affirmation of identities that cross symbolic walls and break down barriers of silence. Everyday performativity—dance, collective embraces, conversations on the sidewalk—expands the frontier between the intimate and the collective.
Feeling safe enough to stretch their gatherings and celebrations onto the asphalt, these people re-signify the urban space, transforming it into a provisional yet powerful community. It is in this movement of improvisation and mutual care that the urgency of occupying the street becomes evident: a strategy of political and affective survival.

Performance
Anthropologies of the Ephemeral.
These are my readings of the raw energy of the original moment of performances. They are not necessarily a process of documentation; they are exercises in the ability to read the bodily and spatial signals that announce moments of greatest intensity.

Theater as Territory
This photographic essay documents the first meeting of a Brazilian theater company formed by people from multiple social, ethnic, and gender backgrounds, with significant participation from members of the queer community. The series captures dynamics of approach, listening, and collective creation during the initial process of collaborative dramaturgical construction, revealing how contemporary theater constitutes itself as a space of cultural resistance in Brazil.
The images capture liminal moments where individual and collective identities are negotiated through the body, gesture, and occupation of theatrical space. The work is part of the visual anthropology tradition that uses photography as an ethnographic tool to understand cultural practices and group formation processes. By documenting this inaugural meeting, the photographs reveal how social differences are negotiated in the performative space, highlighting theater as a territory for identity experimentation and community building.
The series questions who has the right to the stage, visibility, and the construction of one’s own narratives in the contemporary Brazilian context. By photographing these interstices — between backstage and performance, between isolation and community, between the individual and the collective — I seek to illuminate group formation processes where diversity becomes a driving force of creation and existential affirmation, directly engaging with anthropological studies on liminality, cultural performance, and community formation.
From a political perspective, the work documents not only an artistic process but acts of cultural resistance in a context where dissident bodies face growing hostility in Brazil. The photographs function as collaborative visual records that reveal how art and politics intertwine in the construction of alternative spaces of sociability, where differences are celebrated and transformed into collective creative power.
