Ana Bravo Pérez
Born in the city of Pasto in Abya Yala, Ana Bravo Pérez’s work draws on migration, memory, and violence. She uses her own migratory and diasporic experiences as a starting point for her artistic projects investigating suppressed narratives and collective histories. Her experiences have been crucial for building an artistic practice in which personal, decolonial and geopolitical questions merge. An important theme in her work is how to deal with violence visually without representing it, so it can heal colonial wounds instead. Bravo Pérez works with materials such as coal, celluloid, and gold to investigate colonial legacies and continued exploitation in the present-day. Ana Bravo Pérez’s studies, publications, and work in film and the visual arts, have taken her from the University of Auckland, Aotearoa New Zealand, to Caracas, Venezuela; and from the International Film School in San Antonio de los Baños, Cuba, to the National University of the Arts in Buenos Aires, Argentina. She holds a Masters degree in Film from The Netherlands Film Academy.
