Brazilian-born visual artist, writer and psychologist Castiel Vitorino Brasileiro presented a new performance and installation which explores ritual, dance and celebration in both Afro-Brazilian and Western cultures.
Bringing together collaborators from different backgrounds, Vitorino Brasileiro explored dance as a connective and healing practice that allows us to consider the relationships between interspecific spirituality and different forms of life.
In her multidisciplinary practice, Vitorino Brasileiro studies transmutation, the mystery between life and death, and ways of moving between these existential zones. Her work emerges from healing in existential and bodily senses, and the reclaiming of the body and the spaces in which it circulates. Her pieces bridge performance, installation and pictorial practices, and incorporate elements from the fields of healing, macumba (a group of African diasporic religions in South America) and other psychic-spiritual activities.
