Jota Mombaça

Born in Brazil, artist Jota Mombaça works and lives in Lisbon, Portugal. She is an interdisciplinary artist whose work unfolds through poetry, critical theory, queer studies, political intersectionality, anti-colonial justice, and the redistribution of violence. The sonic and visual matter of words plays an important role in her practice, which often relates to anti-colonial critique and gender disobedience. She has recently completed a residency at the Rijksakademie and has exhibited in the 32nd and 34th São Paulo Biennales, the 22nd Sydney Biennale, the 10th Berlin Biennale, and the 46th Salon Nacional de Artistas, Colombia.
