Abstract

This work showcases a series of artistic collages about life in Nova Iguaçu (RJ), a city whose name means ‘great water’, located in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The collage technique is explored as a poetic procedure that encompasses material and symbolic processes of appropriation, overlay, and recontextualization of significant elements of the themed city. The collages interweave personal memories and experiences with the cultural and political settings of Nova Iguaçu. Thus, it portrays the city as a socially constructed space, where
contradictory forces of abundance and scarcity, violence and resistance converge, highlighting the critical and poetic strength of lived experiences, actions, and reflections within this territory.
