Laíza Ferreira

Born in Ananindeua, Brazil, in 1988. Lives and works in Natal, Brazil. She studies Degree in Visual Arts at UFRN (Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte). The artist starts from fiction, non-linear temporalities, ancestral memories and the recreation of worlds through resignified image fragments. Using the collage of photographs, analogically or digitally, she appropriates images found in personal files, mining and search sites for the creation and reconnection of ancestral memories, in a process of decolonizing the image, the look and the photographic language. She has works exhibited in physical and digital media in Brazil, Colombia and Spain. In 2020 she won the Margin Fotografia Potiguar Award and was nominated for Pipa Prize 2021.
