Priscila Rezende (b. 1985) is a performance artist who lives and works in Belo Horizonte, Brazil. She received a degree in Visual Arts from Guignard-UEMG School in Belo Horizonte, specializing in Photography and Ceramics. Her work departs from her experiences as a Black woman to examine and challenge discourses of racism in Brazil. She explores the legacy of Transatlantic African slavery and plantation economies, as well as anti-black racism in beauty standards. She has shown work at the Museu de Arte da Pampulha [pt] (2013), Rabieh Gallery in São Paulo (2014), SAVVY Contemporary in Berlin (2016), Sesc Palladium in Belo Horizonte (2017), and at the Performe-se Festival in Vitoria. In 2018, she was an artist in Residence at CMC/SESC at Central Saint Martins in London and at Art Omi in Ghent, New York. Though she primarily works through performance, she has also produced "Bargain" (2017), a video work.
