Resumo
This text traces my journey as a poetic performer, from my early exhibitions to my current
work, rooted in autoethnography and centered on the themes of ethnocide and land issues.
The poetic exploration engages with political, historical, and anthropological perspectives,
exposing the coloniality in Brazil. It focuses on the reclaiming of ancestral indigenous lands,
where the dreams guide the Mbya Guarani in their journey (guatá). The objective is to
analyze my artistic performances from an autoethnographic perspective, anchored in Guarani
ancestralities. In doing so, I draw inspiration from the writings of indigenous intellectuals to
generate a decolonial critique, particularly relying on the thesis of Guarani author Almires
Martins Machado for the thematization of the Mbya journey. In a performative writing style
that traverses my artistic process, I describe my works and aesthetic choices. I adopt an
anticolonial perspective, dismantling myths and emphasizing the role of the State in the
ethnocide of indigenous peoples. In this historical moment, indigenous communities face the
dismantling of their fundamental and territorial rights, as recognized by the 1988 Constitution.
The text discusses the relationship between my journey as a descendant performer and the
journeys of the Guarani, focusing on the reclaiming of lands, teko porã (living well), and
nhandereko (cultural strengthening) movements led by the Mbya Guarani in Rio Grande do
Sul. It explores how these practices resist ethnocide.
