Look at Yourself (2020)
Watercolor animation of female moves of funk carioca. The artist got in touch with the universe of homemade dance tutorials in Youtube, which teach variations of the so-called “quadradinho” move, and are now part of the pandemic activities, for the search of new expressions and body abilities – so as the extenuating work in handicraft animation. In times of isolation, working through the internet became an adaptation in the artist’s process, who, until then, created animations from her own filmed footage. “Olhe-se” (Look at Yourself) gives name to a song from Karol Conka, one of Rio’s funk singers who brought feminism as a subject. By looking at themselves, women can feel their potency in art, dance, and painting, and share what they know with other women, all connected through the ancestral drum of funk. Composed by 101 watercolors in A4 paper Canson c’a Grain 180g.
