In collaboration with Sergio Morinico - director of Grupo Teko Guarani and Lucas S. Ico, the video charts a performative staging of Guarani presence in Porto Alegre, Brazil.

The group planned a route to walk from a site of historical Guarani resistance - the home of a significant shaman in the communities history, originally at the gate of the old city - to the cathedral, which was built with forced Guarani labor, and which is supported below ground level on giant Guarani stone heads rendered in rough stone - separated from the formally dressed stone of the Cathedral above and its representations of europeanised saints.
