Marina Thomé (director) and Márcia Mansur (producer) are visual arts professionals, and both artists are the founders of the Estúdio Crua collective, dedicated to telling stories through films, installations, and new technologies. They work between Brazil and Portugal, connecting cultural heritage with archives and invention.

The project Céu Vermelho (Red Sky), subtitled Corpo Vulcão (Volcano Body), aims to raise community awareness about breast cancer by drawing a parallel between the manifestations of the disease in the human body and volcanic activity. Through field research, the artists film, photograph, interview people, and record landscapes, but also use archival footage on these topics.

The goal is to create a large-scale video installation open to the public, where people can have a sensory, visual, and auditory experience, perceiving what it is like to have a disease like breast cancer. The video installation is scheduled to open in October 2024 at the Arquipélago-Centro de Artes Contemporâneas in São Miguel and in January 2025 at the Museu de Ciências Naturais in Lisbon. The project is supported by DGArtes.

The creative process aims to be collaborative, inviting the community to participate in conversation and reflection on the theme of living with the disease as a volcano inside the body. We involve partner organizations from the health sector, women's collectives, and art galleries in a communication campaign aimed at also highlighting the role of prevention. In this sense, a public event was organized with the local community where the artists presented the work in progress, projecting the first images of the project, and where a collective moment of sharing and listening was created, in which we talked about the meanings that the disease carries and how it affects women and families in different dimensions of their lives, and in particular for those who live on a volcanic island.

The public event, Red Sky, was organized with the support of the Camarupa micro-gallery.
