Embedded within his caterpillar production, Paulo Nazareth intricately engages with the realms of pop culture and the animated universe, skillfully intertwining these influences to grapple with the nuances of postcolonial thought viscerally and palpably. Within his artful embroidery, Nazareth deftly delineates boundaries and draws thought-provoking parallels between two distinct yet connected narratives: the historic Quilombo dos Palmares, a refuge for enslaved people fleeing the slavery in Pernambuco and Bahia, Brazil, and the imaginative kingdom of Wakanda, a sub-Saharan African utopia enshrined within the pages of Marvel Comics. In this embroidery, Nazareth defies conventions, weaving a complex interplay between mythos and verity, carefully composing a narrative that delves into the history of Brazil, inviting viewers to navigate the intersections of reality and fiction, representation and truth.
