Ricardo Aleixo: Afro-Atlantic

About this title

Brazilian poet and intermedia performer Ricardo Aleixo is depicted through Boston, Rio de Janeiro, and Belo Horizonte, where he vocalizes his poems, interacts with the environment, and talks about his creative process and his relationship with the world. Ricardo Aleixo: Afro-Atlântico makes use of several media to translate Aleixo’s thought and poetics, such as video manipulation and analogue Super 8 material, creating a space in which literature and cinema are in constant dialogue and tension in order to overcome their limits.
