Bringing together images from the Brazilian Bisexual Front, the Transgender Museum of History and Art - MUTHA and Zona de Cinema, Nucleus 2: Politics as Affection sought to highlight the work of dissident collectives in the public dimension.
Here, the images selected show the diversity of possibilities for action, ranging from fighting for a cause to safeguarding productions by trans people and creating and expanding spaces for marginalized and dissident bodies.

Without distinction of gender, the word Kamba brings together a multiplicity of meanings. Originating in the Quimbundo language, one of the many languages spoken in Angola, Africa, it means those who are united by friendship, brotherhood and/or companionship. Kamba: collective dissidence brought together six collectives selected via a call for proposals, whose starting point was the alliances built between people from different social, sexual, affective and gender diversity backgrounds, willing to create and act together.
