In the conception of Panmela Castro's Affective Drift, life is guided by meetings by chance, in a process of feeling liberated to float. Moments of encountering that are aleatory and others that were already written. In this series, the artist let herself go by a movement in territories in which she is taken by a network of affections she builds as she goes.

The work is called “African Leaders on Copulates Mirrors” and is an installation made up of a set of 50 mirror paintings measuring 30 x 20 cm depicting female leaders exhibited at the Museum Of Black Civilization in Dakar. It is a work from Panmela Castro's series of copulated mirrors where the public superimposes the image of the leader through the reflection in the painted mirror, as a way of empowering themselves
