The latest body of work by Thassiannira Araujo Sousa constitutes a significant moment of reflection in her artistic practice. It stems from her renewed contact with small-scale gold miners in the region of «Serra Pelada», which is in close proximity to her birthplace, Curionópolis, in Pará, Brazil. This work delves into the unique cultural, social, and economic dynamics of this Amazonian region in the context of the 20th-century gold rush and its lingering impacts. She highlights the interconnections of our globalized existence, shaped by postcolonial distortions that are inseparable from extractivism.
