Abstract

This visual essay focuses on Aiyê, a dance research project that I coordinated. Conducted by the Corpographies Research Group, it culminated in a dance piece called also Aiyê, which is presented in this visual manifesto. The word "Aiyê" has an Yorùbá origin, can be understood as "earth", material dimension of life where everything has asè. It starts with the challenge of thinking about life, from the diversity of African and Indigenous matrices. It covers the political and socio-cultural issues involved in this discussion that permeates racial and gender relations. Aiyê recalls the beauty of our ancestral legacy, but it also triggers the daily violence that denounces structural racism. Being a project created at the Dance Degree of the Federal Institute of Brasilia, it reinforces the need implement Laws 10.639 and 11.645, which include themes of Afro-Brazilian and Indigenous History and Culture at the official curriculum of education.
