“How to dance funk”, a phrase chosen for the search for homemade videos on YouTube, is an artistic work in watercolor animation of female steps of funk carioca. When searching for this term, the artist discovered a universe of different bodies and social contexts that, in common, had the characteristic of being by women for women, removing the objectified character of the female body that the rhythm is often associated with. By sharing homemade tutorials, the drawn women connect with each other through the ancestral drum of funk and the movements of their hips. Work composed of 150 watercolors on A4 Canson c’a Grain 180g paper.
