This paper examines the work of Brazilian artist Cibelle Mancinni (b. 1966), focusing on her use of everyday objects, textiles, and photographic fragments to explore personal and collective memory. Through close analysis of her installation Casa dos Afetos (2004) and sculpture series Costuras do Tempo (2010), I argue that Mancinni’s poetics of repair and reassembly challenge hegemonic narratives of Brazilian modernity. Her tactile approach transforms forgotten materials into political statements about class, gender, and domestic labor.
