His work constructs visual narratives marked by the appreciation of Afro-Brazilian cultures, memory, orality, Black childhoods, and Amazonian territories.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transiting between illustration, children&#8217;s and young adult literature, academic research, and education, Josias is part of a generation of artists who broaden the imaginaries about the Black Amazon, articulating ancestry, belonging, and identity in creations intended for diverse audiences.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In his work, the biodiversity of the Amazons is manifested primarily in the relationships between water, fauna, flora, people, words, and imagination. Nature articulates ways of life and forms of knowledge produced by those who live in the region. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In an interview with the Concertation, Josias revisited his relationship with the Guapor\u00e9 River, the Black presence in the Amazons, his choice of illustrated books and academic research, and the ways in which he transforms experiences and ways of naming the world into visual language.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The Guapor\u00e9 River region in Rond\u00f4nia is a permanent source of memory and inspiration<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Forte Pr\u00edncipe da Beira community, where Josias was born, is located next to a fortress built on the banks of the Guapor\u00e9 River in the 18th century, on the labor of enslaved Black and Indigenous people. To this day, the region is characterized by the coexistence of quilombola, indigenous, and riverside populations. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The artist&#8217;s emotional connection to the territory where he was raised kindled the river as an important source of inspiration. It is the route along which traditions travel, merging different communities and their cultures. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is from the Guapor\u00e9 that stories, cultural practices, words, and ways of life emerge, permeating Josias&#8217;s work, while his quilombola origins inspire a keen eye on ancestry, shared memory, community, and different ways of creating knowledge. \u201cThe nomenclature, the way of being, and the stories surrounding all of this become images for me,\u201d <em> <\/em>he says.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>His illustrations affirm the presence of quilombos in the construction of imaginaries about the territory<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Valuing this cultural heritage is one of the main axes of Josias&#8217;s art. In his work, he frequently constructs positive, affectionate, and complex representations of Black Amazonians, especially children, who play, imagine, discover, observe, and take center stage in the narratives. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This concern also extends to representations of the Amazons. The artist notes that the region is often reduced to the forest, the rivers, or a cultural repertoire seen from the outside, which seeks to classify the region&#8217;s ways of life solely from the point of view of &#8220;deficiency&#8221;, lack of sociability, lack of protagonism, while the historical presence of its populations remains largely unrecognized. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Often, with only a notebook, a pencil, and a black ink pen always in hand, Josias draws fragments of the environment that challenge this framing. Thus, he presents us with an Amazon that is seen from within, and it is also Black, Quilombola, riverside, Indigenous, and borderland, formed by subjects who build their own knowledge, languages, and ways of relating to the territory every day. <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:2rem\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background is-vertical is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-7e82529d wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#c1c1c1;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0\">\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer wp-container-content-f7b87a2a\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized has-custom-border\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1331\" height=\"1059\" src=\"https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Flor_-2016.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94367\" style=\"border-style:none;border-width:0px;width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/cultura\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Flor_-2016.jpg 1331w, https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/cultura\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Flor_-2016-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/cultura\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Flor_-2016-1024x815.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/cultura\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Flor_-2016-768x611.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1331px) 100vw, 1331px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>The flower, cultivated in his mother&#8217;s garden, shows her care for the house, for the health of plants and the soil. \u201cI think this is an important matter because it&#8217;s about caring for the soil there,\u201d he says. <br\/><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\" style=\"margin-top:0;margin-right:0;margin-bottom:0;margin-left:0\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1349\" height=\"690\" src=\"https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jerbao-ou-Gervao__-2023_editado.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94371\" style=\"width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/cultura\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jerbao-ou-Gervao__-2023_editado.jpg 1349w, https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/cultura\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jerbao-ou-Gervao__-2023_editado-300x153.jpg 300w, https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/cultura\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jerbao-ou-Gervao__-2023_editado-1024x524.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/cultura\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Jerbao-ou-Gervao__-2023_editado-768x393.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1349px) 100vw, 1349px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>Jerg\u00f3n or vervain, medicinal plant cultivated by the artist&#8217;s mother in her backyard in Costa Marques.

Although he intended to study Literature, his drawing talent and experience soon brought him closer to the visual arts. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After being noticed for producing portraits to supplement his income, the artist was encouraged to apply to the School of Fine Arts at the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG), an opportunity he had never considered.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He thus graduated in Visual Arts and built a career that would also encompass Brazilian History, Literature, Education, and research on Illustrated Books. Upon returning to the North in 2016, he settled in Boa Vista (RR), where he currently teaches Visual Arts at the Laboratory School of the Federal University of Roraima (UFRR). He also assumed the role of President of the Administrative and Editorial Board of the university&#8217;s publishing house.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It was also during his years in Minas Gerais that artistic name <em>Casadecaba<\/em>. emerged. Expression \u201ccasa de caba\u201d, derived from Nheengatu, is used in the North in reference to the house of cabas or wasps. Upon realizing that the term was not understood outside the region, Josias decided to adopt it as an imprint of belonging.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Moving between such different territories has made the connection to his own origins even more conscious. \u201cThis creation was a gift to myself, a gift I use as my artistic surname, to maintain ties to the North,\u201d he explains. &#8220;I created this bond from the moment I stepped out of it,&#8221; he emphasizes.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Casadecaba became part of Josias&#8217; public identity. The name raises questions and opens up space to explain a regional word and the cultural universe to which it belongs. &#8220;It works very well for this narrative, for the cause I advocate, for who I am and for who I intend to be,&#8221; he concludes.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>For Casadecaba, the richness of Amazonian biodiversity lies in the relationships of living beings with each other and with the environment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Josias says that his origins also inspire him to talk about Amazonian biodiversity. The first image that is related to this theme evoked by the artist is that of the Guapor\u00e9 River: an environment in motion, traversed by different species and the life of the communities around it. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This understanding of territory permeates his work, as in &#8220;Bate\u00e7\u00e3o,&#8221; a book inspired by a phenomenon observed in the Amazon rivers. When fishing, cormorants dive in search of food; the fish jump out of the water in panic and often fall into canoes already positioned by fishermen to take advantage of the phenomenon. In the quilombo region, this collective movement on the water surface is called &#8220;bate\u00e7\u00e3o&#8221;.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scene brings together birds, fish, insects, forest, woods, river, and people. In the book, in addition to illustrating different species, Josias&#8217; visual narrative shows how they mutually affect each other. Biodiversity emerges from the interactions, movements, and shared rhythms within that environment.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The scenario also reveals a type of knowledge that cannot be produced remotely. To recognize the &#8220;bate\u00e7\u00e3o&#8221;, one must observe the water, understand the behavior of the animals, identify the river&#8217;s movements, and accumulate experiences passed down from generation to generation. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Casadecaba&#8217;s work, this knowledge is integrated into the very construction of the territory. Nature and culture are not separate areas. People learn from natural cycles, create words to name phenomena, and transform observations into stories, practices, and ultimately, memories.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His work thus approaches a broader understanding of biodiversity, which links the conservation of ecosystems to the continuity of knowledge, cultures, and ways of life built upon them.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:2rem\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background is-vertical is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-7e82529d wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#c1c1c1;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0\">\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer wp-container-content-f7b87a2a\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1837\" height=\"2080\" src=\"https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Inquietacoes-de-um-Brasil-contemporaneo-b_-2023.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94369\" style=\"width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/cultura\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Inquietacoes-de-um-Brasil-contemporaneo-b_-2023.jpg 1837w, https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/cultura\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Inquietacoes-de-um-Brasil-contemporaneo-b_-2023-265x300.jpg 265w, https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/cultura\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Inquietacoes-de-um-Brasil-contemporaneo-b_-2023-904x1024.jpg 904w, https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/cultura\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Inquietacoes-de-um-Brasil-contemporaneo-b_-2023-768x870.jpg 768w, https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/cultura\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Inquietacoes-de-um-Brasil-contemporaneo-b_-2023-1357x1536.jpg 1357w, https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/cultura\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Inquietacoes-de-um-Brasil-contemporaneo-b_-2023-1809x2048.jpg 1809w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1837px) 100vw, 1837px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>\u201cThe jenipapo is a fruit that reminds me of my childhood,\u201d says Josias.

The image produces its own meanings, establishes rhythms, creates silences, and guides readers down paths that words alone could not reach. &#8220;Neither paper nor a single screen could capture the narrative complexity or the time frame that we can build in a book,&#8221; he explains.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Page layout allows for the articulation of symbols, colors, scene changes, and different temporal layers. Text and image can converse, diverge, or expand upon each other, an important freedom for a production sustained by observation, memory, and storytelling. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The book also allows narratives transmitted orally to find new forms of continuity. Family stories, regional expressions, and childhood memories begin to circulate among other audiences and generations. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Art, teaching and research are inseparable dimensions of his life and work<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His work also combines artistic creation and education, awarding him the role of &#8220;artist-teacher&#8221;. Artistic research blends with the paths the artist proposes in the classroom, while teaching generates questions and references that nourish his work. &#8220;It&#8217;s a way for me to stay active and to combine these two activities; one feeding the other,&#8221; he explains.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">His academic work includes teaching visual arts, teacher training, illustration, ethnic-racial relations, and Afro-Brazilian cultures. In these dimensions, Josias understands art as a way of producing knowledge, not just representing known content. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This principle also draws his focus to the Amazons. For him, image can reveal invisible relationships, restore centrality to historically erased subjects, and circulate knowledge constituted in the territories. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Josias&#8217; work reveals multiple ways of knowing and narrating the Amazons<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Josias Marinho Casadecaba&#8217;s production, everything is interconnected. The richness of Amazonian life&#8217;s diversity is sustained by the relationships developed with the territories, the knowledge transmitted between generations, and the cultural diversity of the peoples who inhabit them. <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:2rem\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background is-vertical is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-group-is-layout-7e82529d wp-block-group-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#c1c1c1;margin-top:0;margin-bottom:0;padding-top:0;padding-right:0;padding-bottom:0;padding-left:0\">\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer wp-container-content-f7b87a2a\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1331\" height=\"1920\" src=\"https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Maos-pretas_-2016.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-94372\" style=\"width:600px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/cultura\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Maos-pretas_-2016.jpg 1331w, https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/cultura\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Maos-pretas_-2016-208x300.jpg 208w, https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/cultura\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Maos-pretas_-2016-710x1024.jpg 710w, https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/cultura\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Maos-pretas_-2016-768x1108.jpg 768w, https:\/\/concertacaoamazonia.com.br\/cultura\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/Maos-pretas_-2016-1065x1536.jpg 1065w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1331px) 100vw, 1331px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><em>\u201cBlack hands are the hands that built Brazil&#8230; My hands are black.
