Barbara Rosario

Sculptures from simulations and metaphors where the body appears as a critical territory, traversed by power relations associated with gender and race. Understood as a space of testing, resistance, and survival, the body is summoned to expose historical processes of normalization, exclusion, and adaptation. Mechanics, light, and materials such as latex operate as symbolic extensions of this politicized body, triggering tensions between vulnerability and control. Her sculptural propositions activate sensitive realities that interrogate the relationships between matter, presence, and context, revealing colonial and patriarchal structures still inscribed in contemporary bodily experience.

Master in Visual Arts - Sculpture from the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Porto (2019). She has been exhibiting regularly since 2018, highlighting the exhibitions:
