A Outra Margem is an art and thought platform founded by Andreia Duarte, a Brazilian artist, curator, artistic director, and researcher. Its work brings together artistic creation, curatorial practice, and research, focusing on the relationships between body, territory, knowledge production, and the critique of colonial structures.

For 25 years, Andreia has developed partnerships with artists, leaders, and representatives of Indigenous peoples. Between 2001 and 2005, she lived with the Kamayurá people in the Xingu Indigenous Territory, where she took part in educational, research, and community-strengthening projects, including the Mawaiaka School and the book Moroneta Kamayurá – Kamayurá Stories. This relationship, which remains alive in her trajectory and projects carried out in collaboration with the community, is a fundamental reference in her practice.

Over the years, her work has expanded into an investigation of the relationships between art and Indigenous peoples, through research and artistic initiatives that seek to understand how these forms of knowledge open up new perspectives on collectivity, nature, ecology, and ways of being. This investigation contributes to challenging power hegemonies and recognizing the knowledge of Indigenous peoples and their ways of understanding existence.

Holding a PhD from the University of São Paulo (USP), Andreia has developed a trajectory that brings contemporary art, Indigenous thought, and Global South epistemologies into dialogue. Her practice encompasses artistic direction, the curation of festivals and exhibitions, performance direction, dramaturgy, publications, educational initiatives, and research. Her work includes participation in different coordinating roles at MITsp – São Paulo International Theatre Festival, where she currently works as assistant curator to the artistic director; artistic direction of !PULSA! Movimento Arte Insurgente; and curatorial coordination of exhibitions at the Museum of Indigenous Cultures. In 2027, she will begin her postdoctoral research at the School of Communications and Arts of the University of São Paulo (ECA-USP), under the supervision of Professor Antônio Araújo, with the project Non-Colonial Epistemologies: An Exercise in Resistance Through Curatorial Practice.

It is within this trajectory that A Outra Margem takes shape as an art and critical thought platform: a space for creation, collaboration, and knowledge production that brings together artists, curators, researchers, communities, and institutions. Its projects span the performing and visual arts, including festivals, exhibitions, performances, publications, gatherings, interventions, and educational processes.
The platform's international work expands this field of inquiry through collaborations and exchanges across different territories. Its partnerships in African countries, particularly Mozambique and South Africa, are part of an ongoing effort to foster dialogue between practices that value the relationship between body and territory, taking into account local experiences and perspectives from the Global South.

A Outra Margem understands art and curatorial practice as ways of bringing experiences closer together, shifting perspectives, and creating possibilities for transformation. Its work seeks to contribute to contemporary debates on territory, social justice, reciprocity, and knowledge production, while strengthening collaborative networks in Brazil and internationally.
