In a domestic ritual, Camila Freitas' grandmother gives voice and passage to the caboclo Indaia, her guide and spiritual relative, who invites us to communicate with other consanguineous and more-than-human relatives. "Aparição" recounts the encounter with this entity, present in Afro-Brazilian spiritual spaces.
This encounter becomes the narrative plexus from which multigenerational stories emerge as enigmas to inhabit between worlds. Expanding the relational field around the idea of vision, the work unfolds into a window of interaction between the visible and the unseen. The rhetoric of reparation is analyzed amidst the intimacy of family relationships and the secrets that unite these women across generations.
