(Via Craft) Amanda Maciel Antunes (aka dama) is a Brazilian artist based in Los Angeles. She was born and raised in the countryside of the state of São Paulo, Brazil. Her auto-didactic and transdisciplinary practice merges language and durational performance to create paintings, photography, writing, sculpture, sound, film and assemblage. She works in collaboration with public libraries, nature and communal spaces, reflecting on the selective nature of memory, inherent language and anthropological references written by women as points of departure. For reasons of political, historical and cultural urgency, her artistic journey aims to learn from the side of language that requires getting in touch with the unfamiliarity of times past to bring up the inner depths of the present.
