RUBIANE MAIA is a Brazilian interdisciplinary artist based in Folkestone, UK. She completed a degree in Visual Arts and a Master degree in Institutional Psychology at Federal University of Espírito Santo, Brazil. Her artwork is a hybrid practice across performance, video, installation and text. More recently, she has been researching the concept of memory and its relationship with language and the process of embodiment, often making use of personal narratives as a device for action and resilience. In 2015, she took part at the workshop 'Cleaning the House' with Marina Abramovic and participated at the exhibition 'Terra Comunal - Marina Abramovic + MAI', at SESC Pompéia, São Paulo. In 2016, she worked on the project titled 'Preparation for Aerial Exercise, the Desert and the Mountain' which required her to travel to high landscapes of Bolivia, Venezuela and Brasil. In the same year she completed the short film 'ÁDITO' about the idea of loneliness and isolation. Since 2018 she has been working on the creation of a ‘Book-Performance or Book of the Voices’, a series of actions devised in response to specific autobiographical texts.
