Terra sem males
Editorial
“I think you should dream the earth, because it has a heart and breathes.” The sentence that opens the book also opens the editorial project, guiding an open visual identity that breathes, welcomes, and warms. The rays on the cover run through the pages of Terra Sem Males, spreading across the book as an extension of this idea of collectivity and connection. The publication brings historical facts and contemporary issues together through the Guarani myth of a land where life without suffering would be possible. Written by João Vergara, the book places this vision in dialogue with works by Adriana Varejão, Carlos Vergara, Cildo Meireles, Denilson Baniwa, Hélio Oiticica, Moara Tupinambá, Panmela Castro, Tadáskía, Xadalu Tupã Jekupé, and Vik Muniz. Rather than treating the myth as a distant and unlikely promise, Terra Sem Males turns the image into a question about the present: how can we “be better on this imperfect earth”?
