The website for this edition of ICCI 2024 features photographs by the artist Ângela Berlinde, from her work Transa (2020). We thank the artist for her generosity.
Ângela Ferreira, also known as Berlinde, is an artist, curator, and researcher born in Porto, Portugal, in 1975. She holds a Ph.D. in Visual Communication with a focus on photopainting and self-representation of indigenous nations from the University of Minho, Portugal. She graduated in Curatorial Studies and completed her Master's in Photography at the Utrecht School of Arts in the Netherlands. Her post-doctoral research was conducted at the School of Fine Arts, Federal University of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where she explored contemporary visual practices that challenge hybrid forms of photography.

In the vastness of the Amazon rainforest, TRANSA invites us to an aesthetic and existential dance through the hybridism of photography, surprising us with indigenous myths and tales, such as that of Iracema, the "virgin of honey lips " from José de Alencar's novel, personifying the creative and fecundating grace of nature. TRANSA emerges as a reflection on contemporary existence, threatened by the limbo and brutality of colonization processes that are now being reversed. In this suspended time, the Earth seems to echo a silent cry that encompasses all civilizing forces—oppressive and subaltern, those of the mainstream history and the minorities, women, blacks, indigenous people, and colonizers.
