Daniela Brasil
Daniela is an artist and urbanist who has lived in Graz since 2010. She is interested in horizontal and emotional forms of exchanging knowledge and know-how. Her artistic practice focuses on exercises to unlearn hegemonic thoughts, behaviors and representations. She has curated and coordinated various extradisciplinary and collaborative projects in urban spaces, as "Aquatopia - the children's research submarine - Graz/ Vienna 2013, "KoCA Inn" - Weimar 2009. Her teaching practice (currently in the IZK TUGraz) incites students to understand that learning is a self-designed and self-driven process. In order to achieve this, classes open up spaces for risk-taking adventures, including corporeal experiences and critical wanderings on daily issues. She holds a PhD and an MFA in public art from the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar.
