Coletivo Foi à Feira

Founded in Vitória in the state of Espírito Santo in 2009, the collective Foi à Feira [Went to the Market] emerged from small cultural happenings in public spaces called Tábuas de Carne [Meat Platters], these were meetings geared towards graphic, artistic and literary experimentation promoted by artists, designers and producers. Currently comprised of Clarissa Ximenes (São Paulo, 1989), Gabriel Tye (São Paulo, 1987), Luis Filipe Porto (Venda Nova do Imigrante, ES, 1991), Matheus Romanelli (Vitória, ES, 1988) and Rayza Mucunã (Rio Branco, AC, 1990), in the last few years the collective has functioned as a platform for the development of artistic and educational projects proposed and designed for the city. Structured around exercises of listening and research actions about each place, the collective’s projects articulate and reveal – either through urban interventions, installations or spontaneous actions – stories and narratives that often remain invisible in the urban fabric. Always taking into account the city’s human dimension, FAF aims to create, through its artistic and aesthetic experiences, environments that enable encounters, affective exchanges, identification with others and the acknowledgment of the city’s decolonial histories and memories.
