Presentation/Mini-bio:

Bruna Mascaro is a dance artist, researcher, teacher and cultural producer. Now he is taking her masters in dance at the Post-Graduation Program of the Federal University of Bahia; she is a dance teacher at the SESC Casa Amarela and is a member of Coletiva, a body art group that works with gender and sexuality matters on the urban space through the performance. The artist is developing, for several years, an artistic research around the connection between image and body in pictures and video

About her work:

Centelha is an exhibition (originally virtual) that creates friction about matters of gender in an exercise of cooking inventions and modulations on the operatory system. The exhibition evoques aspects such as the exhaustion and crisis that, while being elements of a drawning, are actions that reveal loud desires, conditions and seduction of contemporaneity. The initiative has the funding of the Aldir Blanc Law from Recie and is part of a project entitled “Crise, palíndromo e outros devires”.

The work comes from a connection between body, image and performance and makes room between the thin line of reality and fiction. Thus, the ordinary gets imaginary possibilities, creating ways out against the annihilation of its own existence and subjectiveness.

In Centelha, a series of performative actions developed by the artist are shown. Images, videos, small texts compose the act. The pictures are signed by Danilo Galvão, the design is signed by Flávio Lima and the soundtrack is signed by Tai Ramosleal

The expography of Centelha was created in 2021, specially for the Instagram and to be viewed in mobile devices through the profile @centelha.explo.

The rough material can go through a curatorship stage and the reorganization with the goal to adapt to other contexts - being it printed, physical as well as other possible formats.
