Visual Artist Priscila Barbosa on Feminism, Muralism in São Paulo, Latin American Identity, and Reclaiming the Female Body

Priscila Barbosa, visual artist, muralist and illustrator from São Paulo, discusses using public art to reclaim the image of women as agents of resistance rather than objects of spectacle.We talk about growing up in the east zone of São Paulo, discovering feminism through Latin American thinkers such as Verónica Gago, and challenging the stereotypes imposed on Brazilian women both at home and abroad. Priscila reflects on painting her own body in murals, confronting patriarchal narratives embedded in the history of Latin American muralism, and why public space remains a political arena.This episode explores feminism in Brazil, generational legacy, street art festivals, and the responsibility of artists to reshape representation.Hosted by Nissrin Zaptia and Giovanna Dunmall.
