Very happy to share that my film Divina starring @marcinhadocorintho has been published on @itsnicethat. “Ode’s ability to use photography as an aid for healing, to create new hallowed spaces from pain, is part of what gives Divina its power. Ode says that the film can be summarised by a quote from the book Não vão nos matar agora, by Jota Mombaça (@monstraerratik): “Letter to those who live and vibrate in spite of Brazil”. The text explores how the persecuted in Brazil become more in the face of violence; in Ode’s words: “where we have been murdered, we have become older than death, more dead than dead”. “In the context of Brazil – the country that kills the most trans people in the world”, Divina gives Marcinha and other travestis eternal life.” (@gornygorn)
