Miro Spinelli is a Brazilian artist and scholar currently living between Brazil and New York City. They act in the entanglements between performance art, writing, visual arts and theory, with a focus on minoritarian epistemologies. Their pieces have been presented at exhibitions, festivals and conferences in several cities in Latin America, Europe and North America. Spinelli's intellectual and artistic practices are invested in anti-colonial strategies made through a radical connection with matter, things and the invisibles that are produced in relation with and between them.
