About Ana Roldán

Ana Roldán (1977, Mexico City) studied history at the National School of Anthropology and History (ENAH) in Mexico, and Visual Arts at the Hochschule der Kunste in Bern, Switzerland. The starting point of her research are historical events, philosophical ideas, language, and various systems to stimulate the observer physically and intellectually, creating oppositions and displacements between these systems. In her work, Ana Roldán employs various languages, such as performance, sculpture, installation, video and collage. This diversity is also visible on the natural materials such as coconut, bamboo, wood, semi-precious stones or leather which weave a reflection on their origins and uses in the context of the investigated cultures.

About «Panapaná»

The partnership between «Verbo» and «Chão SLZ» began in July 2018 and seeks to intensify the contact between the art scene around «Chão SLZ» and the artists invited for a residence, driving, from this experience of affection, developments, in the shape of actions, which will integrate the «Verbo» performance show in São Paulo and São Luís.
