Rio de Janeiro, Brazil; lives and works in Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo, Brazil
Panmela Castro is a visual artist dedicated to the practice of performance, whose focus in her work is what she calls “an incessant search for affection”. Her practice, created from relations of alterity and issues related to the sense of belonging, unfolds in memories in different media, such as painting, video, photography, objects, and installations, among others. From her permanent residence in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Castro moves through cities as a flaneur, in what she calls an affective drift, leaving contributions to the development of new affective bonds up to chance, and thereby also opening up new affective relationships with art.
