Coletivo Duas Marias  

Mini Biography

The Duas Marias Collective was born in Cascavel, Brazil, in 2012, by the artists Malu Rebelato (born on 10/25/1969 in Tangará-SC, Brazil) and Nani Nogara (born on 02/03/1957 in Horizontina-RS, Brazil), both graduate and postgraduate in Visual Arts.

The Collective's concept of work refers to the expanded field of contemporary art and its multiplicities. The artists transcend formal areas, work with photos/performances and navigate symbolic circuits promoting hybridity between ecology and visual art, poetry and video, sculpture and theater. The partnership between them was born during the art college in Cascavel. It later enhanced a repertoire inspired by the feminine and its socio-political-cultural aspects. (Leonor Amarante)
