Marcela Cantuária

Marcela Cantuária (1991, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil) develops paintings that intertwine historical images from the universe of politics to representations of contemporary visual culture. Part of her pictorial inventions comes from research on the struggles waged by women around the world, such as the work Sônia, which pays homage to a riverside communist guerrilla woman killed by military agents in the Araguaia region, during Brazil's first military coup in 1964.
