"With one ear to the ground, I listen to the earth. What does it have to tell me?" asks the woman with the machete - she, the hunter, the grandmother, great-grandmother, great-great-grandmother and mother who was there before and will always be there. In "Caçada!", Brazilian artist Idylla Silmarovi lies in wait and follows in the footsteps of her indigenous ancestors. She creates a space in which memories, images and spirits enter into a dialog with each other - beyond invented national borders and colonial violence. Here, the body becomes the scene of repressed, resistant knowledge and the bearer of collective transcendental powers and magics, as in Macumba traditions.

The breath sets the rhythm of the performance. Breathing together can also mean swearing in, conspiring, fantasizing and dreaming. "Caçada!" is a manifestation and monument: of life, of survival, of bodies, of their skin, of their pain - an invocation of spirits.

Emerging artist Idylla Silmarovi's work explores the intersections between art and activism, particularly with regard to repressed and erased memories in Abya Yala (Brazil) and ongoing colonial structures.
