For this series, Dora Longo Bahia collected images of signpost showin the presence of landmines in war zones. The title Perigo Minas [Danger Minas] plays with the danger of minefields and the expression “minas” which, in Portuguese, designates women or girls and also landmines.

A large set from the series is in the solo exhibition Minas, by Longo Bahia, on view at Centro Cultural São Paulo 9São Paulo, Brazil) until February 26, 2023. Currently, a large mural of one of the signs takes up the entire façade of Vermelho, on the solo show Perigo! [Danger!], with which Longo Bahia occupies all spaces in the gallery.

According to Dora Longo Bahia, the shows Danger! and Minas are “distorted continuations” of each other.

Both exhibitions investigate the position of women as a place of power that can be dangerous for the establishment. In the exhibition at Vermelho, Longo Bahia shows hundreds of portraits of friends, artists, philosophers, curators, teachers, unknown women who were victims of femicide and ethnic groups whose women were exploited and decimated.
