Deusa Das Aguas

Deusa Das Aguas

Information

Weslei lives in a shantytown on the edge of a paradisiacal dune desert in northern Brazil. For everyone, he is a little boy. But Weslei dreams of a completely different body.

Deusa Das Aguas results from the encounter between the universe of the renowned filmmaker João Paulo Miranda Maria and the queer plastic artist Be Leite. Together, they decide to design an immersive installation that would be an ode to siversity and freedom against fear, violence and prejudices inherent to the contemporary Brazilian society.
