Juju

Mother of two, artisan and master of geography. My traces carry movements and ancestral strength, flows in art to print my experiences in the world. The knowledge of my ancestors permeates my colours, shapes and personas. My Afro-Indigenous roots are valued. In the street I ask permission for the colours to be released. The creative process between memories and everyday life, the study of stories and African and Indigenous legacies, are tools that are part of the composition. My traces come from afar, the female body and its exaggerated forms, which do not fit in proportions, which exalt the beauties and potentials. The strong breasts, grandiose, source of food, which overflow the liquid love and the relation of maternity, are themes present in my art. I work in Cazulo Amarelo, a creative quilombo in the rural area of Palmeiras-Bahia, as a visual artist and producer. I develop my work in multiple languages, dedicating special time to urban art. Already participated in exhibitions in the Gallery of Sesc Maranhão- Encantos do Quintal, Galeria Trapiche "Risco e Rabisco", INarte urban Pinacoteca Potiguar, Campus em Obra - Gallery of Dearte, XI Exhibition in the Bienal do Recôncavo Baiano. She is a member of ODÉ CREW, and as a graffiti artist has painted the cities of Campinas-SP, Vitória-ES, São Luís and Alcântara-MA, Recife-PE, João Pessoa- PB, Natal and Parnamirim-RN, Teresina-PI, Palmeiras and Salvador-BA.
