Manuela Viera Gallo was born during her parents’ exile in Rome, Italy. Her point-of- view has been strongly shaped by the social and political violence that has affected the history of most Latin American countries and by a constant state of migration. As a consequence Viera Gallo´s work engages preoccupations, anxieties and fears derived from her own experience.
Her artistic practice presents a multidisciplinary body of work that departs from absurdity to manipulate and distort known sym- bols and imagery into an allegorical, fantastical and darkly comical framework that allows her to take ownership of the subsequent transformation to analyze different processes of political and social instability.
