MURIS
Mariana Murial is from Fortaleza/CE and as a child she wanted to be like the presenter of the Art Attack program, who drew and had fun doing it. This thought stayed with her throughout her life, influencing her choice to pursue a career in graphic design and now, through her teaching degree, she seeks the opportunity to showcase this fun way of looking at art as a teacher. It was during her teaching degree that she discovered she was an artist with dyslexia and uses this platform to share more information with other students and the public.

Is dyslexia only for dyslexics?
The visual research developed by the artist involves a reflection on how the brain of a person with dyslexia works.
It also brings to mind an essential question that is often not discussed: how the word "dyslexia" itself, which has an identifying characteristic for the group, presents a spelling that is very difficult for those who should easily connect with it.
This is a very important point, as it distinguishes neurodiverse individuals, but, by becoming difficult for them to access, it ends up being used much more by neurotypicals to have a vocabulary with which they can label those who think and see the world differently.

THE ADVENTURES OF QUINCA
The narrative incorporates elements that integrate the ancestry of a large part of the Brazilian population. The migratory movement from the interior of Pernambuco to Rio de Janeiro and Brasília constitutes a journey with which identification is immediate. This concept of no longer belonging to any one place and, at the same time, having passed through several, preserving roots and acquiring new references, is essential in the individual journey of knowing one's own past and that of one's family. Furthermore, the way the story is presented, with visual elements that evoke cordel literature, values Northeastern culture and its importance in the construction of the mixed national identity.

HOW DO WE WRITE?
The animation uses various resources to explore the word "We," the theme of the 2024 project. It delves into several orthographic aspects, from the number of letters to accentuation. Colors and backgrounds, as well as various typographies, are essential variables for understanding how a word can be generated, read, and interpreted. In this way, the work becomes a lesson in diversity in its most varied aspects, some of which are often neglected. The word moves, and the narration reinforces the questioning tone about three letters that both indicate a group to which we belong and a difficulty to be overcome.

INGENUITY
The visual work starts with a textured glass on the camera lens. The multiplicity of perspectives this generates makes one think of the world as a place where infinite interpretations exist, because perspectives on daily life are always open as long as one maintains focus on this multiplicity. One can even choose a central focus, but this selection leaves aside what is in the surroundings, which does not fade and remains close, ready to manifest itself in varied and unexpected ways for those who keep an open mind.

Sometimes it's not motivation but rather an impulse that I develop in my mind and need to express, then I refine it until I achieve the results I expect. Other times it's curiosity about how to solve this aesthetic issue, which is more of a trial-and-error methodology. But sometimes words aren't enough to express what I feel, so I need to create images to externalize my thoughts.
