Lyz Parayzo
Born in 1994, in Campo Grande, Rio de Janeiro, currently lives and works between Paris and São Paulo.
Lyz Parayzo addresses issues related to sexism, racism, LGBTphobia and colonial heritage are inseparable from Lyz Parayzo’s militant artistic practice. "My work began in a place of activism, but as I studied in an art school, activism acquired an artistic character".
Lyz Parayzo did not ask permission to enter the Brazilian art circuit. She began her career by invading exhibitions, with surprising performative actions centered on her body, at the School of Visual Arts Parque Lage, Rio de Janeiro, where she studied. This "guerrilla plan" as she described was the invasion of the openings/vernissages at Parque Lage - which included works by well-known students and artists - as a means of positioning oneself politically in a physical and symbolic context that excluded identities such as his.
