In this workshop, ROD uses queer mythology as a starting point for the decolonisation of mythical thinking and imaginative ways of relating to the ineffable world.
In a fabulatory gesture, ROD proposes a practice that moves between staged readings of queer myths from different cultures and a poetic and collective reading of a mythological deck of cards created by the artist himself, in which each card is a portal to imagining other ways of existing.
This event is part of the complementary programme for the exhibition complexo brasil, curated by José Miguel Wisnik, Guilherme Wisnik and Milena Britto.
Biographies

ROD
Visual artist and researcher. He completed a post-doc degree at the University of Minho, a PhD in Sociology at the Institute of Social Sciences of the University of Lisbon, and a master’s degree at the Faculty of Letters of the University of Lisbon. His artistic practice develops in the field of decolonial criticism, exploring visualities that challenge hegemonic norms and modes of representation associated with black and queer identities and other historically marginalised experiences. He has contributed to the contemporary debate on image politics, dissident bodies, and artistic practices committed to social justice. He helped create the Afrontosas Collective and the Black Union of the Arts.
