Barbara Marcel
Barbara Marcel (1985, Brazil) is an artist and filmmaker interested in the cultural roots of nature and the troubled heritage of colonial imagery. Marcel is currently a PhD candidate at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar. Her Ph.D. project investigates the essay film as a historiographical tool for decolonial ecological thinking with and through images, focusing on issues related to the history of botany between Germany and Latin America. Parallel to her individual research, she often collaborates with other artists, researchers and activists on projects resulting in visual and sound pieces, installations, lectures, publications and participatory workshops about ecological relations and processes of thinking and practicing in times of environmental crisis and increasing social inequalities.
