Joana Vasconcelos Instagram – “Art has a transformative power that can challenge perceptions and inspire change. My work aims to provoke such reflection as well as encourage dialogue on pressing issues. In addition, it also serves as a catalyst for thought, to foster empathy and understanding, and to influence attitudes and actions towards social justice and environmental protection.”
– Joana Vasconcelos speaking to Noelia Fernandez of HORSE Magazine, 25 February, 2025
