Anna Menezes

My name is Anna Menezes, I live in Brasilia in Brazil, I'm 25 years old and I'm an artist, photographer and researcher. My work started with photography, which is composed, most of the time, in the street and in everyday encounters, I am driven to photograph by the passion of observing people and situations, being and human interactions. From photography, I developed a work in which I start from concerns about what could be the movement in the static object, where I produce results from the transfer of photographic film to concrete, in a transformation from two-dimensional photography to three-dimensional object. My work as a whole seeks to break the negative imagery and prejudices, as well as other looks at bodies: black; of the woman; of LGBTQI+ community; peripheral subjects and; finally, from the Cerrado. Everything that is historically seen in a negative and undervalued way, my work sharpens and expresses beauty. My idea is to contribute to a different reality, awakening in the public the pride of being Cerratense and of being Brazilian.
