Gê Viana
Santa Luzia/MA
Graduated in Visual Arts from UFMA, Gê Viana creates art amidst their backyard and the streets, combining digital and manual collage with painting. Her research uses archival images and oral memory of her family to confront the hegemonic culture with its art and communication systems. She thinks about the history of her Anapuru people and the Afro-diasporic and indigenous daily life of Maranhão and proposes to develop new narratives and inventories that celebrate dignity and happiness. With Lambe-Lambe technique for portraits, the works return to the streets and become a political and aesthetic statement, presenting an alive and ongoing research.
