In the conception of Panmela Castro's Affective Drift, the fortuity is the subject of a search for belonging. 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 surrenders to this movement in territories where she is led by the network of affection she develops by letting herself go.
Dennis Correia is a Cape Verdean queer artist, transforming Portuguese society with his art in singing, dancing, acting and as a Drag Queen. A close friend considered him the perfect figure for Panmela to portray, and so the meeting took place on a quiet afternoon in the garden, full of conversation.
