Water is the vital foundation of Marcella França's artistic research. Her practice is deeply rooted in the Brazilian indigenous diaspora cosmovision, ecofeminism, and over twenty years of Buddhist study and practice. Treating water as an ancestral relative and a political agent, she approaches it through the lens of Body-Territory and an expanded humanity, where the boundaries between the body and the environment dissolve into a single flow.

With her transdisciplinary and queer practice, França defies art conventions to create a corpus of work that includes public art, performances, video arts, and immersive and interactive installations, promoting collective experiences and a state of becoming. Through her performative artworks, she reclaims the body as a site of decolonial resistance, proposing transformative political embodiment that intertwine ecofeminism, post-colonial struggles, and the complexities of immigration.
