Anna Parisi

Anna Parisi (b. 1984) is an Afro-Brazilian interdisciplinary artist, writer, and curator who works primarily with collage, sculpture, performance, and video as medium. Through her practice, she provokes, invokes, and evokes cathartic, visceral experiences around politics that invite engagement and allow space for self-reflection, vulnerability, and healing. Dismantling and opposing the vicious apparatuses of hegemonic patriarchy, colonialism, and systemic violence that have silenced, erased, and oppressed BIPOC heritage, livelihood, and futures inspires her artistic practice. Anna received a BA in Communications and Filmmaking from the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio) and an MFA in Fine Arts from Parsons, The New School of Design in New York. Her work has been presented in The United States, Brazil, Europe, and Asia. She is the Leslie Lohman Museum Artist Fellowship (2020) recipient, the Taller Creative Capital (2019). She is currently based in Brooklyn, NY
