ANA SILVA
(b. 1969, Angola)
Ana Silva’s work is personal, deep, and delicate,
combining various materials to explore notions
of legacy, more specifically the passing of
knowledge from one generation of women to
the next.
Her practice is anchored in personal experience;
the Angolan civil war forced her to keenly
examine her surroundings and tap into her
extraordinary creativity.
Her work has been featured in exhibitions
including The Power of my Hands, part of
Africa2020, held at the City of Paris Museum
of Modern Art, and Filam(a)nt at the Fondation
Blachère, among others.
