Quando Parir é um Feitiço 2025

Marina gave birth to her son at the age of seventeen in a maternity hospital, where she endured sexual, obstetric, and psychological violence at the hands of medical professionals. Eleven years later, she turns to performance as a gestural act to birth the swords of Ogum and other vegetal kingdom species-royalties, transforming childbirth into a spell. Surrounded by the swords, she finds ways to defend herself and challenge modern science, which is deeply rooted in coloniality, racism, and the exploitation of human and non-human bodies. Modernity, after all, seizes the planet and its kingdoms to destroy them under colonial capitalist disregard.
