Ana Paula Silva is a Brazilian visual artist, researcher and curator exploring strategies for aesthetic pollination to reconfigure the time-space of the cities. Positioning art as the pivot of action, she proposes experiments within art-nature-science intersections to promote aesthetic and environmental preservation and restoration through encounters, events and interventions. She proposes practices of “cultivating us/yourself” as speculative artistic strategies to foster what she calls human pollination in the cities through hybrid and situated mediums and technologies. Her production involves drawing, painting, artist books, zines, seed-paper based strategies, printing, installations, site-specific interventions, video art, relational objects, photography and hybridism among them. She holds a Bachelors degree in Painting and a Masters in Interdisciplinary Poetics, both at the Fine Arts School at Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (PPGAV-EBA), Brazil. She is currently a recipient of a Capes scholarship for a masters degree in aesthetics at the philosophy program, also at Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro (PPGF-UFRJ).
