Veneno y Antídoto - Un rompecabezas dentro de otro rompecabezas
Bruna Kury
“Me, as one more part of something with many other parts: my worlds and the worlds. One part. I hope I can make myself understood with certain works; others maybe not so much, but an effort of understanding would be nice anyway, I appreciate it.
Imagine a jigsaw puzzle. Now imagine a puzzle within a puzzle. This is how I understand intersectionality: with pieces that fit in many places and others in none (could it be?). I have developed works from the crossroads between gender, class, race, privilege and marginalities. In recent works, I have explored the concept of gentrification of affects. In another research, I proposed that "the frontier of the body is the body itself and/or prosthesis”. For this exhibition, I wish to give continuity to these reflections.
I will work with different materials (ephemeral, perishable or resistant), to investigate and denounce the ideas of erasure and control – of the body and the mind. Much of this construction is born from what crumbles: revolt, desire, precariousness and strength. Folds in gestures and perceptions. Body, blood, earth – in the confrontation between that which insists on living and that which constantly seeks to erase or make invisible.
I will develop temporary sculptures and other solid and lasting ones, investigating political architectures of the body – personal and collective – and zones of affective contamination. I will also produce photographs, videos and performances.
A thirst for revenge.
Revenge which is, paradoxically, the right to exist and be happy.”

Bruna Kury (Rio de Janeiro, 1987) is an anarchotransfeminist, performer and visual, sound and tactile artist. She focuses on creations traversed by gender, class and race issues (against the current compulsive heteronormative patriarchal system and structural oppressions in the form of class wars). In 2025, she and MigrantaFilms have brought to the screen Escorpiônikas - Contramanifiesto, a film that crosses three continents to accompany an insurgent collective: transvestite/trans women, sex workers and racialised voices.
