In ‘05 moved to New York where pursued graduate studies in Digital and Graphic Design at NYU, and co-founded a collective of media artists coopCreative, whose mission was to empower small businesses. She worked as the Art Director at WET Productions (’07-’09) a production company that produces media which challenges female stereotypes and advocates for equality.
In ‘09 Silvia moved to Fort Collins, Colorado and worked as ADS Quality Rater for Google, while kept pursuing my free lance webdesign carreer. She is pursuing a Master in Fine Arts in Graphic Design at Colorado State University (Due 2014), and started teaching Graphic Design at CSU.
She cultivate her passion for singing through study and work as a soul singer. She is among the founders of the independent band urbanSoul. Silvia started training Capoeira, a brazilian martial art and dance form in 2011, her brazilian name is Onda (wave).
We see what we want to see. We perceive the world around us in our own way and sometimes our perception is far from reality. We have got used to rely on our feelings and emotions when we see or judge something and sometimes this leads to the misinterpretation of the things around us, because feelings and emotions can’t be objective. In my exhibition Another Perspective I want to raise awareness on the issue of North African Immigration to Europe. We see what we see thanks to light (knowledge). While the data I present are available, and easy to access, still sometimes we perceive the world and judge without looking for all the information. Knowledge is to look at the world from a different point of view: changing our perspective can make the things we see change their meaning.
