Vanessa Nunes was born in Teresina, Brazil. She is a dancer, performer, and dance teacher. As an emerging creator, she has connected dance to visual art in an attempt to understand the visual layers in her desires for dance. She is artist-in-residence at CAMPO Contemporary Art, a residency space managed by Marcelo Evelin and Regina Veloso, where she has found the freedom to explore her own questions and artistic production.
