Zenha (1995, Lisbon) lives and works between Paris and Lisbon. Their practice ranges a multitude of media, such as installation, painting, sculpture and ceramic, which are deployed as part of their ongoing research and reflection on the formal and conceptual queer representation of the body. A body burdened by hetero-patriarchal values, a body that strives to liberate itself and create a new ontology for itself. Recent works have been exploring issues surrounding identity, desire, vulnerability, and constantly evolving questions around power and love. Having graduated in Fine Arts at Central Saint Martins in London, they are currently based in Paris following a residency in 2020.
