INFORMATION 



Joana Azevedo (b. 2001, Porto, Portugal) is a Portuguese artist currently living in London. Through intuitive and critical analysis of socio-cultural symbologies, Azevedo's practice investigates how bodies materially perform as sites where knowledge converges and proliferates. Working across sculpture, installation, writing and sound, she explores her own relationship to the self-consumption of femininity in relationship to representational capitalist structures. Manifesting her interest in the unveiling of power dissonances, she understands sound in her work as a mechanism of truth production and change, reflecting on its power over body, mind and matter.
