Born in Niterói, in the State of Rio de Janeiro, Bianca Dacosta explores the notions of “memory of places” and “natural resources” from a political, post-colonial, and anti-extractivist perspective. In her installations, paintings, films, or photographs based on the memory of landscapes and the humans who inhabit them, Bianca Dacosta seeks confluences, meeting points, and points of rupture. Her work, nourished by historical, scientific, and experimental research, invites navigation between images of nature threatened in the Anthropocene era, fantasized representations of colonized Brazilian lands, and organic forms creating new spaces for projecting a world that it is still possible to hope for, opposing all forms of domination and sketching a reconciliation of humanity with its environment.

Bianca Dacosta graduated in scenography from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro and studied at the Escola de Artes Visuais Parque Lage (Rio de Janeiro). In 2020, she obtained her Master's degree in scenography from the École des Arts Décoratifs de Paris. She is also a graduate of the Fresnoy Studio National des Arts Contemporains in Tourcoing, class of Marguerite Duras. In 2021, she was welcomed in residence at the Villa Arson in Nice, and in 2024 she was selected as an artist-in-residence at the National Library of France and at the Town Hall of the 5th arrondissement of Paris. Her work has been presented at the Quadriennal of Performance Design and Space in Prague, at UNESCO, at Espace Krajcberg, at CENTQUATRE and Carreau du Temple in Paris, as well as at the Grandes-Serres de Pantin
