ART COLLECTIVE

@2017-2019

From 2017 to 2019, I was part of a multidisciplinary art collective composed of 11 artists working across different mediums—installation, performance, photography, and urban interventions. Our shared goal was to break conventional boundaries between art and public space, creating works that were politically engaged, emotionally raw, and socially resonant.

We believed in collaboration as a creative force, often merging our practices to produce hybrid, experimental pieces. The group functioned horizontally—without a fixed hierarchy—making space for individual voices while creating unified statements.

As a member of the collective, I contributed primarily through visual concept development, installation design, and curatorial coordination.

I also led or co-led the execution of several group exhibitions and public activations, helping translate complex themes into tangible, impactful experiences.

This seasonal campaign featured the design of a meticulously crafted catalog and its showcase within their exclusive bi-annual magazine. A beautifully produced social media film, co-created with a shared creative vision, brought the collection to life, capturing the interplay of motion, brilliance, and elegance. Rooted in Bergerson’s dedication to luxury and innovation, Euphoria invites its audience to embrace the dazzling beauty of a new journey.

the vision


Formed in early 2017 in the aftermath of student-led occupations across Brazil, the collective emerged as a response to a wave of political regressions—extinction of key ministries, education reform (MP 746), PEC 55, labor and pension reforms. We were born from protest. From urgency. From refusal.

OCUPAR & RESISTIR was not just a chant—it was our method. Our works were not passive observations but acts of confrontation, built in public space, within institutional cracks, or through ephemeral gestures that could not be ignored.

the concept


We were eleven voices working as one, without hierarchy. Each project was a dialogue—sometimes tense, sometimes fluid—between disciplines and perspectives. Our collective practice blurred the lines between installation, performance, protest, and pedagogy. We created art not to decorate the world, but to disrupt it.

The group officially began during the Inventário 2016 exhibition at UFPR’s DeArtes, which served as both a retrospective of resistance and the seed of our collaboration. From that moment on, the collective became a living organism—responding to national events, institutional repression, and the social body in crisis.

craft & participation


As an active member, I collaborated in the development and execution of group exhibitions, interventions, and curatorial actions. I contributed visual concepts, installation design, text writing, and spatial articulation for collective works. My background in architecture and visual arts often informed the more conceptual layers of our pieces.

RELEVANT WORK

Between 2017 and 2019, the collective developed a series of politically engaged, collaborative installations that responded to the Brazilian social and educational crisis. Each piece emerged from urgent contexts—occupations, protests, institutional resistance—transforming collective tension into visual form.

BARRICADA
Curitiba International Art Biennial, 2017


Installation


Barricada transforms school furniture—symbols of discipline and passive learning—into a chaotic, defiant structure. In doing so, it gives physical form to the tension between control and resistance, order and uprising. Inspired by the real barricades built by Brazilian high school students during the 2016–2017 occupations, the installation is not a nostalgic homage, but a reenactment of urgency.

The desks, stacked and tangled, resist hierarchy. They block the viewer’s path and demand confrontation. There is no neutral ground here—only a pile of broken promises, still holding the shape of belief. The piece captures education as a political force, a terrain of struggle, and a space worth defending.

HORA DE BRAZÍLIA
Curitiba International Art Biennial, 2017

Stop motion video, 1h duration — 2018


In Hora de Brazília, time moves backward—literally. This low-budget stop motion piece mimics the structure of the official national radio program that reports on government activity, but with every real-life policy announcement, the clock reverses.


The work becomes a performative archive of regression—turning satire into protest. Its hour-long duration mirrors the format of the original broadcast, making the viewer feel the slow, exhausting undoing of rights in real time.

Installation


A single school chair hangs upside down from the ceiling, bound in thick rope, with a noose suspended beneath it. This minimalist but powerful installation confronts the viewer with the metaphor made literal: the slow execution of public education.

Drawing from the historic student occupations of 2016 and the government's systematic erasure of critical thinking from the national curriculum, the work stands as a visual scream. It is not subtle, and it doesn’t try to be—because neither was the violence it responds to.
