Sabrina Da Silva was born in the extreme south of São Paulo, Brazil, where she grew up near one of the city’s largest water reservoirs, built on the Mata Atlântica in 1925. This environment informs her interdisciplinary practice, which spans painting, sculpture, and installation, and is rooted in syncretic forms from the margins and in relationships between human and non-human beings. Working with materials charged with history, Da Silva reconstructs memory in response to processes of colonial erasure in Brazil. Through a search for re-enchantment, she engages with encruzilhadas—crossroads and sites of intersection—activating connections between ancestral rites, bailes funks, and the maloka (a term meaning house, later used pejoratively to designate the outskirts). By subverting these codes, she re-signifies spaces of struggle, circulation, and the act of “making home.” Since moving to France in 2016, she has developed a practice attentive to transnational circulation and dialogue. She graduated from ENSAPC in 2024 with the jury’s highest distinction and is currently pursuing postgraduate studies at ENSBA Lyon.Her recent exhibitions include Éloge de la Submersion, curated by Dénètem Touam Bona (Marseille, 2024); ART EMERGENCE at Fondation Fiminco / Frac Île-de-France (Romainville, 2025); Biennale de la jeune émergence (CAC Meudon, 2025), where she was Guest of Honor; and Fauvettes at Galerie FORDE (2025). She also participated in Aguïta de piedra, Sans Réserve, curated by Kay Zevallos at the Musée de la Chasse et de la Nature (2025), as well as Cosmogramme #2 at La Compagnie (2024), which included an intervention around the film ORI by Raquel Gerber and Beatriz Nascimento. Her work has also been presented in Les Pacotilleuses (ENSBA Lyon, 2025), La Roue de la Fortune (Tour Orion, Montreuil, 2024), and Territoires Ambulants (Paris, 2022). She is currently in residence at Fondation Fiminco (2026). Her research-based practice extends into public programs, including participation in the Symposium Martius Revisited IIIat the University of São Paulo (2025), and a conversation with Olivier Marboeuf for Paroles Enliassées (Radio Grenouille, 2024). She is the recipient of the Adelie Barbe Prize (2024).
