about

Walla Capelobo is a dark forest and fertile mud. A multidisciplinary artist experimenting with ceramics, installations, videos, texts, workshops, and performances. Capelobo's work is characterized by time, the flow of physical and/or spiritual energy surrounding the earth through the exchange of minerals, technologies and regenerations. Their practice addresses sensitive issues of existence, supported by Afro-Indigenous South American technologies, speculative ecologies, present-day archaeologies, dreams, and delusions. Capelobo has participated in residencies such as Organismo TBA21 - Academy Thyssen-Bornemisza Art Contemporary (Madrid, Spain), South to South: A Meeting on African and Afro-Diasporic Technologies (Brazil, RD Congo, and Germany), AI Anarchies at the Junge Akademie, Akademie der Künste (Berlin, Germany), LabVerde (Amazon, Brazil), Matéria Abierta (Mexico City, Mexico), CACis (Barcelona, Spain), Pivô Arte e Pesquisa (São Paulo, Brazil), and the Institute for Postnature (Madrid, Spain).
