Paula Do Prado

Paula do Prado is a visual artist-researcher based on the lands of the Gadigal people, working with various forms of tejido (weaving). Her practice surfaces the intersections of her West African Bantu-Kongo, Iberian and Charrúan ancestral lineages. Her practice-led research is indivisible from her cultural and spiritual practices, her family and community relationships including beyond-human kin. She holds a BFA First Class Honours (Textiles) and an MFA (Research) from the University of New South Wales. She is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Sydney and a member of the Sydney Indigenous Research Network.
