In this workshop, participants will be invited to produce analogical collages, whose central axis is the valuation of Maranhão and Afro-Brazilian culture, with an emphasis on the urban context and black female representation. All of this, based on the work developed by the artist Fabíola Ferreira, whose research is committed to promoting cultural identity and strengthening narratives that highlight the richness of Maranhão’s intangible heritage and the resistance of black women in different spaces of creation and dialogue.
