O meu interior é exposto e, por isso, começam a crescer pêlos no coração para o proteger do sol — Eduardo Batata

O meu interior é exposto e, por isso, começam a crescer pêlos no coração para o proteger do sol — Eduardo Batata

There’s a wound that opens up when we’re marginalized for the first time. A wound that we live with our whole life and that is opened and tampered with in different circumstances. “My insides are exposed and so hair begins to grow out from my heart, to protect it from the sun” is an autobiography that arises from revisiting childhood and personal pasts, intending to create new fiction about the past and the future, in a close relationship between the intimate and the political, the future, healing, and fiction.
