Liana Nigri is a Brazilian visual artist deeply interested in BioArt, holding a masters degree in 'Design for Textile Futures' from Central Saint Martins. She is a researcher at the postgraduate program in Contemporary Studies of the Arts at UFF (Universidade Federal Fluminense), where she investigates the idea of 'Contact sculptures: body-matter' where the artist uses the sculpture making as an intimate gesture of hearing the female body.
She has been taking part of art residencies annually, such as 'LabVerde' in the Amazon Forest, 'From the Laboratory to the Studio' in SVA-New York, 'In Context' in Romania, in the ecovillage 'Terra Una' in Serra da Mantiqueira and ‘Despina’ in Rio de Janeiro. Her research calls attention to the presence of women’s bodies and the Earth as a fertile force, a careful observation of marks that show traces of time, experiences or traumas. Comments are closed.
