Santa Maria Paraffina, by Felisha Maria Carenage, Luiza Furtado and Anne Meerpohl, is an interdisciplinary project that questions gender roles in maritime global intimacy. The water-driven Maria is a shifting figure that serves as an artistic alter ego for the three painters. They engage with care work, friendship, sexual capital and memory. Maria was exhibited and performed in MOM Art Space and MARKK - Museum am Rothenbaum in Hamburg.
