Clara Ianni (Brazil)
Clara Ianni
(b. 1987, São Paulo) In her practice, she investigates the links between art, politics and ideology and analyzes the connection between political act and artistic deed.
Using different media such as sculpture, installation, videos, and texts, her work critically reviews hegemonic historical discourses, investigating its zones of invisibility through the exploration of memory and possible counter-narratives as an example of a space of political agency.
