Panmela Castro
In the conception of Panmela Castro's Affective Drift, life is guided by meetings by chance, in a process of feeling liberated to float. Moments of encountering that are aleatory and others that were already written. In this series, the artist let herself go by a movement in territories in which she is taken by a network of affections she builds as she goes.

Affective Drift is a series by Panmela Castro where the artist lives or visits the house/city of a close friend, usually activists who influences her thinking, producing works based on this relationship.
Jandira Queiroz has been a friend for a decade. Panmela met Jandira at a presentation meeting of the AMB (Articulação de Mulheres Brasileiras) and from there on they became close friends, with Jandira actively participating in her feminist education and as an activist. In 2010 they founded together with other women the NAMI Network, an organization that uses the arts to promote human rights in which Panmela is president, and Jandira adviser.
