Mariana Destro (Brasília, 1993) lives and works in Rio de Janeiro. She is a PhD candidate and holds an MFA in Studies in Contemporary Arts from the Fluminense Federal University and a BA in Visual Arts from the University of Brasília. Her practice focuses on the intersection between curation and image-making through video, writing, performance, photography, and installation in physical spaces and online. In her research, she delves into the intertwining of eroticism, cosmology, and body politics. She has held solo exhibitions and participated in group shows in Brazil at institutions such as the Municipal Art Center Hélio Oiticica, Rio de Janeiro (2025); Futuros – Art and Technology, Rio de Janeiro (2025); the National Museum of the Republic, Brasília (2024); the Correios Cultural Center, Niterói (2024); and the Eva Klabin Foundation, Rio de Janeiro (2023), among others. Her work is included in public and private collections, notably the Harddiskmuseum, and her photobook Guaraná Paquera (zero-Editions, 2025) was selected for the ZUM/IMS Photobook Open Call 2025.
