Selvagem
Event
Marco Martins proposes in SELVAGEM (WILD) a reflection on the use of the mask in ritualistic practices that, since time immemorial, collectively mark crucial moments in Europe, such as the equinoxes and solstices, contemplating characters such as the Wild Man, the Bear, the Goat or the Devil. We are increasingly a society of masks that hide behind a virtual world. What is the current meaning of a mask? How can living with the sanitary mask transform each person's activity, activism and identity? We live in a society full of avatars, caricatures, memes, apps that enable you to transform both face and body and various types of filters capable of blurring the line between faces and masks. Based on the investigation of the ancestral meaning of the mask, SELVAGEM will map its value as an identity possibility, as well as the complexity inherent to the multiplication and intersection of identities.
