Ricardo Aleixo - Encontros

By Ricardo Aleixo

Ricardo Aleixo unites artistic research and creation with a deep reflection and intervention on contemporary culture. His poetry works with the encounter of languages: performance, visual arts, cinema, music, sound art, and corpography. In the present volume of the collection Encontros, Aleixo, one of the great names in contemporary Afro-Brazilian poetry, talks about his trajectory and the thought that accompanies it.

"I believe that artist is a word that already carries in itself an in itself an extraordinary stock of creative possibilities. Artist and that's it. Or, better yet: poet is the fairest word to speak of this person who organizes his work through the attempt to know as deeply as possible the deepest possible knowledge of the microstructures of each artistic language as deeply as possible. That is what I am, in short, that I try to be: a poet."
