QUIET REVOLUTION :: the platform for art & research and the studio of Vanessa Ramos-Velasquez.
ARTIST STATEMENT :: my practice is about transformation... invoking and evoking my indigenous ancestry originating in the state of Sergipe, Brazil, recomposing the fragmented body, learning from multi-species kinship via sensory autoethnography in the Amazonian region. Decolonial artivism conjugating micro-narratives and macro-history. My creative process leverages Artistic Research in the fields of Cultural History & Theory, Media Philosophy and Environment & Society in a convergence of social interactive rituals, engaging the multisensorial capabilities of the human experience. Situated works bring traditional practices and philosophies into the center by challenging obsolete dominant colonial thinking in the Capitalocene.
