Bel Falleiros is a Brazilian artist whose practice focuses on place and belonging. Starting in her hometown of São Paulo, she has worked to understand how contemporary constructed landscapes (mis)represent the diverse layers of presence that constitute a place and how this affects its inhabitants. Walking is core to Falleiros’ practice and played a significant role in her first solo exhibition at CAIXA Cultural São Paulo in 2014. Since arriving in the United States, she has produced public land artworks at Pecos National Park, New Mexico (2016); at Burnside Farm, Detroit, IL (2017); in collaboration with Tewa Women United as part of the Santa Fe Art Institute’s Equal Justice Residency (2018); and as part of the MONUMENTS NOW’ show at Socrates Sculpture Park, NY (2020). Recently, Falleiros was featured in Under the ashes, ember at MAM, São Paulo (2022), the New York Latin American Art Triennial Abya Yala: Structural Origins (2022), and a solo exhibition Floresta de Pulsares (Forest of Pulses) at Wave Hill, in Bronx, New York (2023).
