GILL, Andréa; SILVA, Isabela Souza da; FERNANDEZ, Marta  and  MOURA, Tatiana. Reimagining Gender: Artistic Interventions in the Field of Masculinities. Ex aequo [online]. 2021, n.43, pp.69-84.  Epub June 30, 2021. ISSN 0874-5560.  https://doi.org/10.22355/exaequo.2021.43.05.

In this paper we situate the discussion on gender and masculinities in the context of their hierarchical qualifications and disqualifications of our humanness. Taking as a point of departure the structural and structuring violence that marks postcolonies, such as Brazil, we question the dynamics of racial-gendered violence that reproduce the imbricated norms, standards and pacts of hegemonic masculinities. In this way, we propose a dialogue with peripherized artistic-cultural practices that reshape how we incorporate such idealizations of gender. To this end, we focus on the production of the performance Na Manha - developed within the scope of the artistic residency of the GlobalGRACE (Global Gender and Cultures of Equality) research-action project, with the Dance Company Passinho Carioca and under the direction of the dance collective Mulheres ao Vento (Women in the Wind) in Rio de Janeiro.

Keywords : Masculinities; peripheries; art; passinho; decolonial.
