"This work evokes pre-colonial memories, countering the notion that diverse sexualities and affections are solely tied to European narratives. The idea is to use two non-white bodies to construct these memories for the present, the future, and our lives. Embracing this warrior spirit means not only being with another woman but also being a warrior, telling your story, and carving out your space. It’s about creating a narrative that honors us and our bodies.

Pero Correia, in a letter written to the Jesuits in Africa in 1551, stated: “There are many women here (in this territory now called Brazil) who, in arms as in all other things, follow men's jobs and have other women - called çacoaimbeguira.” While it's unfortunate to rely on a priest's binary perspective, we can find reflections of our current reality, where we stand together, loving and supporting each other."
