Entities — Oxum
Ritual performance in aerial chains
2025SCROLL ↓The project Entities explores the relationship between body, memory, and spirituality through an engagement with entities rooted in Brazilian cosmologies, particularly those shaped by African and Indigenous origins. The performance unfolds as a contemporary ritual in which the body operates as a site of inscription and reactivation of memory, both individual and collective, inherited, transmitted, and transformed over time.
Ritual performance in aerial chains — 2025
In dialogue with ancestral knowledge present in practices such as umbanda, candomble and other Afro-Indigenous traditions, the work does not aim to literally represent entities, but to activate their presence as forces, archetypes, and modes of existence that move through the body. Within this context, ritual functions as a sensitive technology of accessing memory, allowing the invisible to manifest through gestures, repetition, and states of incorporation.
Through trance, listening, and suspension, Entities proposes a liminal space where identity and alterity begin to dissolve, enabling the body to become a site of passage. The performance thus creates a field of encounter between different temporalities and epistemologies, where spirituality and memory emerge as living presences, deeply rooted in African and Indigenous heritages that continue to resonate in the present.
