Descripción del Artista

Cantante, escritora, compositora, performer y artista visual travesti problematiza los efectos sociales, culturales y políticos de los procesos de traducción e interpretación de textos bíblicos, históricamente apropiados por proyectos políticos de blanqueo de población y concentración de poder. En algunas obras, hace interferencias visuales en imágenes, objetos y productos relacionados con el universo cristiano, para cuestionar la asociación entre la fe y la "neutralización" de los cuerpos. < ENG Daughter of the mysterious bowels of mother Bahia, Ventura Profana prophesies multiplication and abundance in black, indigenous and travesty life. Doctrined in Baptist temples, she is a missionary pastor, singer, writer, composer and visual artist, which practice is rooted in the research of the implications and methodologies of evangelization in Brazil and beyond, through the spread of neo-pentecostal churches. In the last few years she has carried out actions and has had works exhibited in spaces such as Werkstatt Der Kulturen Berlin (Germany), Sesc ... Pompéia (SP), Pampulha Art Museum (MG), Valongo Festival (SP), SP Arte, Capacete (RJ) ), Despina (RJ), Segunda Preta (MG), Espanca Theater (MG), Hélio Oiticica Municipal Art Center (RJ), São Paulo Cultural Center (SP), Francisco Nunes Theater (MG), National Museum of the Republic (DF) ), Dragão do Mar – Museum of Contemporary Art of Ceará (CE), and CAL – House of Culture of Latin America (DF). She published “A cor de Catu”, her debut book, released at Sesc Palladium (Belo Horizonte) and participates in the Anthology Young Afro, published by Quilombhoje Literatura. Her poem”Prepara Nem – Is this our last chance?” was activated on the educational program of the Bienal de São Paulo in 2018. She performed at La Mutinerie (Paris, France), Festival Valongo (SP), SP on Rua and Virada Cultural de São Paulo, Mamba Negra (SP), Galla On Fire (MG), 22nd LGBT Parade in Belo Horizonte (MG), MasterPlano (MG) and Circo Voador (RJ). Cântico dos Cânticos, a performance developed with the music producer Podeserdesligado, was awarded in the Best Performance category at the Black Performing Arts Award Leda Maria Martins, in 2019. Her work has been a substrate for research work at UFRJ, PUC-Rio and UFPE, among others.
