Image as a Weapon:

Abstract

In this article, we will explore a relationship between Patrícia Ferreira Pará Yxapy and Sophia Pinheiro through image and filmmaking. A videography of a poetic encounter between two women, one indigenous and other non-indigenous, using visual anthropology in a delicate sense. As for methodological process, this is research made with a visual ethnography that thinks of the power of images as the production of meaning and collaboration. It was from this fissure that the artists made an ethnographic experience of video-letters - they constitute exchanges of videographic messages of the most diverse subjects. In this project, they exist between Patricia and Sophia, in the form of feminine and subjective questions, to show the relationship between with images and sounds. As Patricia says: "What I put out was inside me."
