Raiany Sinara, Brazil

We Brazilians fight for the basics. Having space where our creativity can flow.

My name is Raiany Sinara, I’m 32 years old, I’m a queer person and I live in São Paulo. I’m an experimental artist.

Art presents itself as a spiritual mechanism for survival and communication within such a complex and economically outdated country.

Producers of independent experimental events create bright havens of creativity, preserving freedom and rebellion, in a scenario without investments. Dreamers. Directors.

Spaces that cultivate anti-commercial abstract art are balms for our tired, advertising-polluted minds. Abstraction is the ground we need to build our creative freedom and autonomy. Producers and protectors of free creative life in rebellious abstract experiments with unusual interactions. Artists who unite through experimentalism in music, body, video, objects.

I look at the world and feel tired. I want to have motivation and hope, but the accumulation of information, wars and fighting for survival through art drain energy and take up all my time.

Abstract, formless art calms my mind, nourishes the soul and heart. A new space is created where I can be nothing. Where I can contribute with my silence. The non-existence of the product, a mismatch. Create a breather for my mind. Between inhalation and exhalation.

Where there is no air.

As a musician and artist, I believe in spiritual connection through our social and listening rituals. May we sing without defined scales and language. We can be weird. Let’s value our individualities. Today we will not speak the language of the invader.

Improvised experimental encounters give us the opportunity for cosmic connection, a message, a frequency. Visiting nothingness can decompress our thoughts.

Luminous strongholds of creativity in São Paulo, CHIII Festival, Leviatã Editora and in Rio de Janeiro the Novas Frequências Festival, bring care with rebellious, sensitive and original art. True fighters, completely independent.

In 2024, the complexities of the world made me want more investment in experimental arts so that more stranger artists would come together and discover each other in the world, creating a network that would allow for more opportunities.

Emotion through listening to something completely unusual. Surprise yourself.

Participating in this movement in Brazil brings me a lot of joy and vital meaning, it has nourished and healed a lot of pain.
