Indigenous Hammock: Wapichana Extension (2019) by Gustavo CabocoCentro Cultural Banco do Brasil - Brasília

A set of eight images dictates Gustavo Caboco's autobiographical narrative. Son of Lucilene, a Uapixana woman from Roraima, he sees his identity as stretched between that origin and the city where he was raised, Curitiba.

Each of these banner designs is presented as an allegory about different ways of relating to one's origins and identity.
