Raisa Lima

Images complement what is always lacking in words. The poems complement what is always present in the city. Freely inspired by the poetry Cidade City Cité, by Augusto de Campos.

In a dystopian Bahia where the entire population is infertile and governed by a populist dictatorial regime, a couple cannot reach a consensus on the choice of their daughter's name, exposing structural problems in marriage and society.

Alice dos Anjos is a smart girl who lives in the northeastern hinterland, and who, after running after a running black goat, is transported to a magical place, full of crazy characters. She finds herself, then, in the middle of a war against an influential colonel who wants to discard as traditional communities' land to build a hydroelectric plant. As Alice joins her friends to fight an oppression, she finds herself on a journey of self-knowledge and social awareness.
