Boca da Noite Archive - Part 2

Layers of stories and flows of economic interests, processes of disciplining bodies, protests and possible ways of urban life. Something like a procession, a street party, a collective assembly or the momentary establishment of some utopia was configured." (Paulo Reis)

In 2022, during the 67th Paranaense Salon of the Museum of Contemporary Art of Paraná, the artist Guilherme Jaccon carried out the project “Gilda, we miss you”, which installed a bronze plaque in Boca Maldita that refers to the one idealized in 1983. The installation of the plaque is still provisional and awaits approval by the City Hall of Curitiba. Inaugurated with a carnival procession with the participation of two carnival blocks, Sái do Armário e Me Dei Bem and Malinki-se, together with the artists Ricardx Nolascx, Simone Magalhães and Vini Maia, the plaque was installed in Boca Maldita near the obelisk.

"Boca da Noite Archive" is a project by artist Guilherme Jaccon that began in 2015 with the goal of organizing a collection of documents, testimonials, newspaper clippings, artwork and cultural actions that work on the memory and history of Gilda, a street transvestite and popular figure of Curitiba in the 1970s and 1980s. The name "Boca da Noite" is a reference to the popular movement created in 1983 after Gilda's death, which aimed to install a bronze plaque in her honor.
