Stemming from a creation process developed with the Mbyá-Guarani ethnic group of southern Brazil, the work JEGUATÁ – CADERNO DE VIAGEM (2018) was guided by the continuous displacement of that people in search of good living, conceptualized in the notion of jeguatá, creating a territory with no fixed abode between Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay. The project, selected for Rumos Itaú Cultural, was developed on the route between Koenju, São Miguel das Missões, Brazil, and Pindó Poty, Misiones, Argentina. Drawing on images made in the villages and objects collected along the way, this “travel notebook” reveals an erratic procedure and the construction of a free and associative space, in which another territory—poetic, quotidian and contemporary—emerges and gains meaning, and where the other—Mbyá Guarani—takes on new features and visibility.
