Rebeca Carapiá
Rebeca Carapiá was born in lower city, Salvador-Bahia. Visual artist graduated by the Federal University of Bahia, she is interested in the relations produced between language, conflict, body and territory. Based on her experience and daily life in the neighborhood of Uruguai, a space that constitutes her as an artist, she has been creating and organizing a set of practices and reflections through different platforms of exhibition, formation and artistic experimentation, visible and invisible to the contemporary art circuit. Through sculptures, drawings, installations, prints, texts and objects, the artist creates a cosmology around the conflicts of the norms of language and the body, in addition to expanding a geopolitical debate involving memory, precarious economies, ancestral technologies, sexual dissent and of gender and the power relations between speech and word. Performing the deconstruction of women's geographies, she uses experience with metalwork and materials such as copper and iron to confront the hegemonic discourses of art and politics.

Lightning rods for confusing energies
The artist from Salvador-Bahia Rebeca Carapiá presents the new series of works “Lightning rods for confusing energies”, an installation composed of sculptures, video and PDF file. The work relates 3D modelling, iron and copper, simulating in its performance an assembly guide that is settled on Pivô Satellite as a strategy of collective emancipation and spirituality.
Exploring the limits of the physical object, Carapiá inserts a certain dose of humor and irony to expose the contradictions between materiality, virtuality and its opacities when proposing through the work’s “Manual” and “Installation Tutorial” interaction with an audience that makes the “Lightning rod for confused energies” a performance in itself.
