Upon donning a VR headset, users are transported to ancient Egypt, where they are welcomed by the Rainbow Serpent, a mythical figure who serves as a guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the Serpent\u2019s path, users explore a vast complex of temples adorned with towering sculptures of 16 queer African deities \u2014 each embodying a unique facet of divinity \u2014 and visit the tomb of Niankhkhnum and Khnumhotep, the earliest recorded same-sex couple in human history, dating back to 2500 BCE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As users navigate the temple\u2019s sacred spaces, they undergo a ritual of transformation and rebirth, watched over by deities and ancestors. Blending virtual reality with queer history and spirituality, \u201cBlackstar Sanctuary\u201d reclaims and reanimates a long-suppressed lineage of queer African divinity and offers a powerful challenge to heteronormative interpretations of the past.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>CREDITS<br>Alexandre Roccoli: Artistic direction, director and choreographer<br>Marcos Serafim: Visual research, conception and creation of augmented reality devices, proprioceptive game<br>Fernando Oikawa: Image editor and film editor<br>Eduardo Augusto Urban: Psychologist, researcher and coordinator at CAPS Bom Retiro<br>Jonathan Tavares: Performance artist, coordinator at CAPS Bom Retiro<br>Mayron: Casaflorecer<br>\u00c9lisa: Casaflorecer<br>Vicky: Casaflorecer<br>Dora Le\u00e3o: Support and production<br>Frank Finance Madureira: President of Queer Palm, consultant in France<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>14 a 17\/NOV | das 15h \u00e0s 21h | Anexo CineSesc Direction: Mikael Owunna e Marques ReddCountry: EUAYear:&nbsp; 2025Duration: 17 minRating: 14 years&nbsp; Blackstar Sanctuary is a virtual reality experience that immerses users in a world grounded in queer African spiritual and cosmological traditions.
