Noara Quintana

Noara Quintana is an artist based between Florianópolis, Brazil, and Los Angeles, USA. Her practice centers on the materiality of everyday objects and their relations as an index of the histories of the Global South. Through installation and sculpture, her work points to traces of exchange, forms of architecture, and an ongoing reimagination that contests the legacy of the colonial imaginary.

Quintana's artistic practice finds expression through sculpture, drawing, and installation in which materiality is a central thread. She sees traces of peoples, practices, and identities in the materials and forms of everyday objects, and she foregrounds the submerged gestures of a Global South shaped by the colonial process.
