Maurício Chades - Pyramid, Urubu (2019)

WINNER: By understanding art as an aesthetic-political tool, I see experimentation as a state of becoming in which we can think of ways out of the infinite socio-environmental crises generated by capitalism. Mostly grounded in environmentalism studies, my work usually relates to a place or a system that I perceive as a microcosm within a global situation. Three interconnected subjects mark my production: decomposition, death rituals, and frictions between forest and city. –Maurício Chades
