Ana Bravo Pérez

Ana Bravo-Pérez is an artist and filmmaker born in Pasto, in the Andean-Amazonian Piedmont of Abya Yala. Her practice merges personal, decolonial, and geopolitical inquiries, exploring migration, memory, and violence. Using materials like coal, cotton, gold, coca, and toquilla fiber, she investigates colonial legacies and ongoing extractivism. Her visual work seeks to address violence without directly representing it, instead proposing forms of symbolic healing. Her work has been shown at the Havana Biennial, EYE Filmmuseum, HKW Berlin, Stedelijk Museum, Salt Beyoğlu, TarraWarra Museum, and more. She has participated in film festivals such as IDFA, Hot Docs, Ji.hlava, Oberhausen, and Havana. Ana studied film and visual arts in Cuba, Venezuela, Argentina, New Zealand, and the Netherlands, where she earned her Master’s degree in Film. She is co-founder of the I-tekoa eco-village project in Argentina and a member of Filmwerkplaats, Rotterdam’s artist-run film lab.
