The multidisciplinary practice of the artist Jota Mombaça unfolds from two key-elements, which are constantly stumbling, articulating and questioning themselves: their written and performance processes. The written processes flow into poetic rehearsal, science fiction and forms of visionary fiction, including premonitions and prophetic prose. From this nodule comes the flag series NÃOVÃO (2017-2020), which will be presented at Bienal 12 | Porto Alegre, in an amplified version with 21 pieces. As a second key-element in Mombaça’s investigation process, the performance grows stronger from the action series A ferida colonial ainda dói (2015-2018). It is from the inside of the performance key that we can think about the work Así desaparecemos (2019-2020). The project is designed in relation to the burning of historical files. For Brazilians, this is a reference to the official order, given by Rui Barbosa in 1892, for the burning of slavery-related files, and to the fire in the National Museum in Rio de Janeiro, in 2018. Positioned before the work Auras anônimas, from Beatriz González, Mombaça reads, from a paper in flames, texts written by victims of the Colombian conflict.
