MEET THE ARTISTS IN RESIDENCE: Luanda Carneiro Jacoel
Luanda Carneiro Jacoel
Luanda Carneiro Jacoel (BR/NO) is a performance artist working with the principles of ancestry, memory and temporality in afro-brazilian traditions. The work crosses boundaries between dance; ritual; installation and video-performance. She has a Master in Fine Arts Performance at the Norwegian Theatre Academy (NTA) and is co-founder of the former platform ACTS – laboratory for performance practices in Oslo.
Within the MANIFEST Artistic Journey, Luanda will be working in tandem with Bianca Turner.
I speak from a body that dances its multiple voices, layers and identities. […] A living archive, which carries on history, culture, ancestry, memories and temporalities. Becoming a medium; a vehicle of my work as a performance artist.
