Sally Santiago is a Brazilian artist and researcher living in Porto/Portugal. Using video, installation, and photography to elevate the movements of existence to a conscious surface, the artist presents profound reflections on the nature of life and art itself. By engaging in dialogues about the body and space – their relationship and inhabitation – their experiments traverse the realms of art and philosophy, intertwining to reveal immaterial reflections between human existence and its connection with the world around. She is part of the doctoral programme in Fine Arts at FBAUP, has a master’s degree in contemporary artistic creation (UA/PT) and a bachelor’s degree in communication (UAM/ BR). Her work has also been shown at film and video festivals in the experimental category, such as FUSO International Video Art Festival (PT), Porto FEMME International Film Festival (PT), Aparição/ Desaparição Festival (BR) and Alternative Film Festival (UK). In 2023 she was one of the artists selected for the Portuguese Emerging Art 2023 – PEA’23 publication. In 2022 she received two honourable mentions, at the Aveiro Young Creator Competition, with the video «Da verdade e do tempo», and at the XII Vila Verde Biennial, with the video «Na Antessala da Consciência». Since 2021 she is part of the team of the cultural institutions Cultivamos Cultura and Ectopia Laboratório de Arte Experimental. Before that, in 2020, she collaborated with the Centre of Contemporary Art in Christchurch (NZ).
