New Atlantic Triangulation is the name of Thaís Muniz’s ongoing research which explores and delves deeper into reflections on healing through the lenses of home, memory, identity, and mental health. New Atlantic Triangulation is a term that encompasses the intersection of her artistic practices with her personal experience as a Black Brazilian woman of mixed African heritage, who has recently acquired Irish citizenship.

Brazil, West and Central Africa, and Ireland: each side of this triangulation has deep knowledge of aligning intuition with nature, spirituality and self-strengths, as well as cultural erasure and migration, all caused by colonial oppression.

The convergences Muniz traces act as mechanisms of comfort, cure and hacking of systems that can serve as a reminder of a loss of joy. How general anxiety and numbness can affect those who left, those who arrived, and those who stayed, becoming highly productive humans who blocked access to ancestral cosmogonies and technologies. Here, Muniz intends to connect these three territories through her body as a living archive, mapping possibilities of existing and reimagining realities with drops of rebelliousness towards grace.

Muniz is interested in investigating how she can use this triangulation as a mechanism for personal and collective healing. Exploring how to create mythical territories, just like Hy-Brasil*, and how to establish real spaces for enchantments and empiricism. What are the superpowers acquired and detached from people who experience migration? Muniz has been deepening her questions on the sense of home, the notions of territories, replacement and mental health according to these territorial triangulations and the false notions of choice historically offered by capitalism.

* According to Irish mythology, a legendary phantom island called Hy-Brasil is believed to exist in the Atlantic Ocean west of Ireland. It is said to be shrouded in mist and visible only one day every seven years, yet it remains inaccessible to those seeking it.
