Marise Maués - Loess
Presented by the Brazilian partner MITsp, Marise Maués hails from Pará, Amazon, Brazil. Her work focuses on political and social relations in the Amazon, examining memory, heritage, and environmental issues. Her work Loess was created on the river island of Maracapucu-Miri, where she holds strong emotional ties. In a performance of seven uninterrupted hours, Marise stood on a platform in the bed of a small river (igarapé) while receiving the flow of water from two tides, one rising and one ebbing, depositing river sediment onto her body. In the video of this performance, the body is proposed as a woven, layered entity capable of multiple identities.

Masi Mamani - Crudo
Masi Mamani is an artisan of realities and a potter of rough edges, whose creative work began in 2016 as a reaction against the white colonial LGBT world with the creation of their Drag persona, "Bartolina Xixa." Through this character, they denounce colonial forms of understanding diversity while opening a dialogue towards ancestry and expanding horizons of cultural transformation. Their work arises from the peripheries, addressing ethnic and sexual diversity and the injustices these communities face. Rather than seeking comfort, their work invites critical reflection and action, moving away from aesthetically pleasing and conciliatory spectacles to provoke a visceral reaction from the audience. Their dance criticises Western aesthetic norms, focusing on what they call "ugly dances," those rejected by colonial spaces.
Crudo denounces the oppressions marking our marginalised bodies, exposing "the raw" as a metaphor for what has not been consumed or digested by the artistic extractivism that exploits peripheral stories.
