Going with them to war and hunting.

Pero Correia(1551) in a letter written to the Jesuits in Africa: "There are many women here who, in arms as in all other things, follow men's professions and have other women - called çacoaimbeguira." It is unfortunate to have to reference a priest and his binaries, but the strength and rush are too great, the independent women have always existed. This work precisely brings pre-colonial memories, because other sexualities and other affections are usually associated with a European narrative. The idea is precisely to construct this memory for the present, for a future, and for our lives, starting from two non-white bodies. I believe that being in this warrior's body is not just about being with another woman, but also about being a warrior, telling your story, and hunting for your space. Ultimately, a fair History with you and your body.
