about
Juana Ferrari (they / he / she), uruguayan digital artist based between Zurich and Rio de Janeiro, nomad, queer, working between different artistic disciplines (theater, performance, visual art, installation, video games, etc). Their identity is built on a constant movement of deterritorialization, linking her work and personal history, in a transdisciplinar approach that seeks to escape hegemonic structures and disciplines in which existence means survival.
Juan’s work offers new narrative and spacial possibilities that invite all types of listeners, while also seeking to expand the idea of otherness by centering bodies and discourses considered to be “other”. The Internet and digital spaces–understood here as places of dissidence and indiscipline–, have always provided these “other” bodies with the possibility to think of themselves beyond the physical form, expanding toward digital forms and augmented realities: chatrooms, avatars, videogames…Each of these iterations of “I” and “other” are ultimately the confirmation that we can exist beyond our physical shells. The porosity between URL/IRL provides us with the opportunity to construct new identities, to become a glitch in our society’s violent structures, to be multiple, to reinvent ourselves over and over again.
