BIO | CV
Anna Parisi (b. 1984) is an Afro-Brazilian interdisciplinary artist, educator and writer working with collage, sculpture, performance and video. She holds 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 both North and South America, Europe, and Asia. Her practice is geared towards creating experiences for cathartic reflections and transformations. By provoking experiences and exchanges where vulnerability, self-reflection, and healing act as radical strategies to oppose systemic violence, Anna's work seeks to offer paths for healing and transcendence, as a gesture to offer back visibility, remembrance, dialogue and understanding to those that have been repeatedly silenced and erased. She is part of The Laundromat Project 2023 Create Change Fellowship, was the recipient of the 2021 Lynn and John Kearney Fellowship for Equity at Gallery Affero, the 2020 Leslie Lohman Museum Artist Fellowship, and the 2019 Taller Creative Capital Artist Fellowship. Her work has been presented at Superchief NFT Gallery, Everywoman Biennial, Equity Gallery, Bienal Black Brazil Art, EFA Project Space, The Anya and Andrew Shiva Gallery at John Jay College of Criminal Justice, The Hunter East Harlem Art Gallery, La Mama, UrbanGlass, The Bureau of General Services—Queer Division and The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center, Smack Mellon, Westbeth Gallery, [BOX] Videoart project space in Italy, Musée D’Elysee in Switzerland, Akbank Sanat in Turkey, amongst others. She currently lives in Brooklyn, New York.
