Munturo : da margem à pista, como imagens, design e fotografia constroem identidades culturais em um coletivo independente.

Abstract

This paper examines how Munturo, an artistic and cultural collective from João Pessoa, Brazil, builds LGBTQIAPN+ and peripheral identities through its visual communication on Instagram. Drawing on Stuart Hall, Gillian Rose, Rick Poynor, Boris Kossoy, and other authors, the research analyzes six posters and six photographs produced between 2022 and 2026, across the compositional, social, and semiotic dimensions of each piece. The findings show that Munturo builds identity through displacement rather than repetition: each piece anchors belonging around a different axis, class, sexual identity, or territory. The posters project this identity before each edition; the photographs, by Bruno Sanches, testify afterward to who occupied that space, forming memory for an audience that recognizes itself in the collective's feed.
