The use of visual methodologies raises the need for constant on-site reflection, the role of the researcher and his/her gaze. The objective of the research is to understand the artivist works of Brazilian artists Branca Gonzaga and Guma Joana from the dialogue on their political artivism. For this, a visual ethnographic study linked to the concept of patchwork ethnography is carried out.  The work Artivismo em São Paulo: Guma Joana e Branca Gonzaga (2023) is the visual result of Jordan Fraser Emery’s work derived from methodological application through which we thoughtfully address the use of immersive video in 360º as a research tool. The short documentary shows not only the dialogue with the artists in their own creation but also the author’s bodily participation as a subjectivity that is the object of being shared. The mediation of visual methods is thus exposed as a technological subjectivity that relates to the subjectivities of the research subjects. Finally, the audiovisual result perpetuates the forms of activism of the involved artists in different territories.
