Ancestrality Is Also Built in the Present is a series of nineteen oil portraits depicting travesti, trans, and non-binary individuals belonging to Indigenous and Afro-descendant communities. Through color, time, and the act of naming, Poleo Painemal proposes a pictorial and political gesture of repair, reclaiming the deep connections between body, territory, and memory.
