GILBERLICE MENEZES
The challenging life of a single mother of twins in Porto Seguro, Bahia, with everything to resolve and decide, also brought a desire for moments of pure inspiration, and that's how Gilberlice began building miniature houses with the materials she found, as a safe haven. She discovered she had dyslexia at school and wasn't always welcomed; on the contrary, she faced barriers, prejudice, and neglect. Today she is growing stronger as a woman and an artist.

A Black woman born in the interior of Bahia, in Arataca, the artist resides in Porto Seguro. It is on the beach that she photographs miniature houses that function visually and emotionally as cozy places. The reuse of materials, in this sense, provides a metaphorical vision of the reorganization of life's difficulties. It also points to the possibility of constructing a harmonious whole in which each person finds comfort, affection, and acceptance. In this aspect, the space constructed by the artist is a place that allows each person to present and represent their own existential paths.

Dyslexia is a challenge and it motivates me.
It's a challenge for my daily motivations.
