Maré de Matos, a transdisciplinary artist from Minas Gerais, in the Vale do Rio Doce. She holds a degree in Visual Arts from Guignard School (UEMG), a Master’s in Literary Theory (UFPE), and is currently developing the project-research Museum of Emotions in her PhD studies (USP).

She explores the tension between version and truth; the single narrative and polyphonic counter-narratives; power and position, aiming to ignite this world order. Her research delves into representation and responsibility, the imagination and delusion of modernity, the invention of race and self-narrative, subjectivity, and counter-colonial pedagogies. Working in hybrid languages, her projects reside mainly in the space between the territories of image and word. She is interested in the Black Atlantic as a formative process, revision as a principle, and poetry as a political tool for emancipation. She advocates for the right to emotion for Black subjects who have been denied the status of humanity.
