Anyone passing by Sesc 24 de Maio in São Paulo will see a game on the first floor. Consisting of interactive videos presenting the Maori and LGBTQIA+ Vogue dance scene in New Zealand, the work of the FAFSWAG artistic collective is part of the 22nd Sesc_Videobrasil Biennial.
The viewer chooses one of the collective's five dancers, a location in Auckland and watches a Vogue battle between the chosen dancer and an opponent. When asked to choose a winner, a short documentary about the dancer is revealed. Through intuitive interactions, the playful form invites the audience to get to know the ballroom culture, which celebrates gender diversity, sexuality and race.
