1986, lives and works at Brasília, Brazil
Ana Vaz, an artist and filmmaker, was born on Brazil’s central plateau, haunted by the ghosts buried beneath the modernist federal capital of Brasília. Her filmography activates and questions cinema as an art of the (in)visible and as a tool capable of transforming human perception, expanding its connections with other forms of life—both more-than-human and spectral. Her work is marked by a constant experimental challenge to the poetic forms of contemporary cinema, highlighting the deep contradictions of our time and, above all, questioning the destructive practices of colonial modernity. As consequences or extensions of her cinematographic practice, her activities also unfold through writing, critical pedagogy, installations, and collective walks.
