The "Linda Libre y Loka" edition, developed exclusively for Carbono, is a feminist graffiti on a mirror that completes itself by reflecting the image of the observer.
Panmela began graffiti when she was still young. During this process, she learned more about human rights and a feminist perception of the world. In her work, she subverts the logic of the “crazy” woman in a pejorative sense to a positive affirmation, which refers to freedom, creativity and transgression, exploring the subjectivity within each viewer.
Biography
Panmela Castro
Originally a graffiti artist from the suburbs of Rio, Panmela Castro became interested in the dialogue that her marginalized female body established with the city, dedicating herself to constructing performances based on personal experiences, in search of reciprocal affection with others with similar experiences. Her street and performance works resulted in a vast production of photos, videos, objects, paintings and installations.
She holds a Master's degree in Contemporary Artistic Processes from the State University of Rio de Janeiro (UERJ); she has carried out projects in more than 15 countries, such as painting the façade of the Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam; her work has been exhibited in institutions such as the Rio Art Museum (MAR); and is in collections such as the United Nations. She has received numerous nominations for her human rights activism, including nominations for the Folha de São Paulo Social Entrepreneur Award and being named a Young Global Leader by the World Economic Forum, in addition to being considered by the North American magazine NewsWeek as one of the 150 courageous women who are working for other women in the world.
