Brazilian born, UK based artist Paloma Passetto uses analogue photography to explore socio-political and cultural themes around identity, belonging and political resistance. Passetto's work aims to investigate how society, influenced by the western project of modernity/coloniality, is shaped by cultural and political events, looking into ways that ‘othered’ communities counter it through the practice of epistemic disobedience.
Passetto is interested in reimagining the aesthetics/symbology of traditional art by borrowing from its iconographic elements and subverting them in order to address contemporary realities, experimenting in different media and introducing drawing, painting, sculpture and research imagery to her photographic practice.
