Anaisa Franco

Germany/Brazil

Born 1981 Sao Paulo, Brazil. Lives and works Berlin, Germany

She has exhibited extensively including at ARCO Fair Madrid, Spain (2011); Europalia, Brussels, Belgium (2012); Live Ammo, Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei, Taiwan (2011); Museum of Brazilian Art in Sao Paulo, Brazil and the 5th Seoul International Media Art Biennale, Seoul, Korea. Franco also exhibited at the Moscow Art Fair, Russia (2013) and has been awarded residencies at Cité internationale des Arts, Paris (2012), Hangar, Barcelona (2010) and Tapei Artist Village, Taiwan (2009).
