Carla da Victoria was born into the 'clay potters' tradition, the name given to women who make clay pots in the city of Vitória/ Brazil. A transgender woman, Carla is a daughter, granddaughter and great-granddaughter of potters. She learned to shape pots in the same way that she shaped her identity. Transviar is about breaking rules and the encounters that the mangrove swamp can bestow.
