DESCRIPTION:The Kite Ballet is a multidisciplinary series comprising the ep
	onymous film\,\nalongside textiles and sculpture. The work reflects on ter
	ritoriality\,\ncommunity\, joy\, and degrowth\, while advocating for play 
	in adulthood as a\nrevolutionary act.\n\nThe Kite Ballet by Thaís Muniz in
	tertwines poetic and mythical elements with\npolitical\, historical\, and 
	symbolic themes\, amplifying the voices of local\nactivists from the Itapu
	ã area in Salvador\, Brazil. The film portrays a group of\nkite runners in
	 their weekly communal ritual\, highlighting the threat of private\ndevelo
	pment and ecological displacement of Afro-Indigenous sacred territory\,\nw
	here joy and spiritual practices have thrived for centuries. The film advo
	cates\nfor play and negotiation with nature as revolutionary acts.\n\nThaí
	s Muniz is a Brazilian-Irish visual artist and researcher working across\n
	multiple mediums to explore the intersections of inherited and acquired\ni
	dentities\, memory\, transit\, and inward love. Her community-oriented pra
	ctice\nunfolds through intimate communal learning processes\, including wo
	rkshop\,\nperformance\, installation\, sculpture\, and film. Her work also
	 spans photography\,\ncelebrations\, and activations\, often incorporating
	 archives\, personal\nmemorabilia\, and symbology.\n\nMuniz’s practice eng
	ages with the reimagination of realities through mechanisms\nof refusal\, 
	dreaming\, and personal magic\, challenging and expanding canonical\nsyste
	ms of representation\, building connections\, and opening conversations. A
	\ncentral aspect of her work involves activating spaces through presence a
	nd\ncritically engaging with the geopolitics of place.\n\nMore information
