Após meu ventilador quebrar e eu consertá-lo por meio de gambiarras, fui a procura de outras histórias como a minha. O projeto tem início com a produção de cartazes fixados em alguns bairros da cidade de Belém, os quais apresentavam uma fotografia do meu ventilador e um anúncio escrito à mão. Para além de um elemento comum à região amazônica, os ventiladores-gambiarras apresentam uma metáfora sobre as estratégias de manutenção de algo feito à base de improviso para garantir a permanência sem haver grandes investimentos. São reflexo de um vento que assopra as adversidades econômicas e sociais que partem da precariedade para solucionar necessidades específicas.


After my fan broke down and I had to fix it using a few hacks, I went in search of other stories like mine. The project began with the production of posters in some of Belém's neighbourhoods, which featured a photograph of my fan and a handwritten advertisement. As well as being a common element in the Amazon region, the 'fan-gambiarras' present a metaphor for the maintenance strategies of something made from improvisation to ensure its permanence without any major investment. They are a reflection of the wind that blows economic and social adversities from precariousness to solve specific needs.
