Description
Poster of the film made in ocassion of the 58th Biennale di Venezia. "[...] Wagner and de Burca demonstrate the values of vernacular pop culture and its potential to unify and empower, and to stimulate social change. With an affirmation of self-expression through popular music and dance, Swinguerra gives positive representations of Black, queer, transgender, and non-binary people in Brazil, and foregrounds action and energy – of its performers, and for its viewers. In the midst of the current worldwide political and public health crises, which have immensely and particularly impacted Brazil’s marginalised communities, the film’s depiction of collective solidarity and self-representation becomes even more vital and globally significant." - Temple bar gallery, "Bárbara Wagner & Benjamin de Burca Swinguerra"
