Good Neighbor Policy in Xou.Rumi (Helmet) Curated by Bruna Costa and Rubens Takamine. Rio de Janeiro, 2025.
The expatriate series takes as a reference records of artifacts from the Americas and Africa, who have been displaced from their territories of origin, and proposes a reflection on the agency of these objects by the peoples to which they belong and the demand of the "luxury antiques" market in the global North, which makes them protagonists of millionaire transactions, opening discussions about the agency and the repatriation of cultural assets by the peoples to which they belong. Visual references for these paintings are taken from the main international auction houses and museum collections. This painting represents an artifact of jade representing the Maya god of corn found in a museum at the National Museum of American Indian, WashingtonG D.C.
