Coletivo Corisca
is a collective that aims to contribute to a shared memory of the reproductive work done in the communities. Investigates and experiences through artistic languages the rituals of care or commensality and the gender patterns that are constitutive of it.

Born in February 2020 with Mafalda Araújo (1993, ethnopoetry), Maria Novo (1993, visual arts) and with Sancha Meca Castro (1997, performance and visual arts). The three take up the artistic direction, conceptualization and research of the aesthetic, theoretical and political references.
They make with their own hands what they idealize, but in their trajectory there are collaborations with other collectives, organizations and artists that make this common weaving.
The collective is generally interested in gathering the history of a certain traditional practice and constructing it as a sensorial form of un-knowing what is known, based on its archival representations and oral history. Transgressing disciplinary boundaries, they come together with the desire to map a memory in the feminine. Scratching, projecting, performing: three women dispersed throughout the territory, for whom “the personal is political”, and who, from that common place, counteract.
