Clara Silveira is a multimedia artist and professional dancer with a nomadic background. Her practice explores the fragile boundaries between memory and fiction, trauma and identity.

Working primarily with installations, Silveira examines unresolved tensions embedded in personal and collective history. Her work inhabits ambiguous spaces between intimacy and exposure, where themes of love, loss, femininity, and violence intersect. Drawing from familial archives and personal narratives, she constructs dialogues between individual recollection and shared experience, interrogating how violence shapes and fragments memory.

Central to her work is storytelling's duality - how every act of recollection faces both truth and fiction - and the impossibility of articulating radical experiences. In a never-ending exercise, Silveira materializes this tension through installations that reflect on memory's paradoxical nature: its simultaneous persistence and unreliability.

Currently, Silveira focuses on impermanence, using materials that decay, tarnish, or transform. Influenced by mourning jewelry's symbolism and the historically gendered labor of domestic spaces, her pieces evoke memory’s ephemeral nature. By creating spaces where narratives remain unstable - where materials fade and invite reinterpretation - Silveira asks how we engage with memory when language fails. Her work doesn't seek resolution, but makes visible what we carry, alter, and cannot speak.
