I Decided to Share My Love to You
Kiyoshi Yamamoto & Nayara Leite


Kiyoshi Yamamoto and Nayara Leite are two Brazilian artists living in Bergen who each in their own way works with political art. For Bergen Pride the two artists have collaborated on a performance that problematizes liberal gay rights in the Western world up against the far more difficult situation for queer people living other places in the world, especially in Brazil. Their collaboration will contain texts, drums and wild textile creations inspired by the Maracatu tradition of Pernambuco in order to raise money for the Casa Nem lgbtqia+ sanctuary in Rio de Janeiro.
