Carla Rebelo (b. 1994, Sao Tome and Principe) tries to reimagine geopolitical boundaries from an emotional and metaphysical perspective, as a way to reclaim agency in the vital connection between place and self.
Through photography, video and text, a keen interest in the process of identity construction has always been an underlying driver of her artistic practice. Carla describes her projects as by-products of a personal quest for meaning and control over her own narrative.
