This website compiles samples of Marianna Olinger’s art, research and organizing work.
She has worked with drawing, prints, film, installations, theory, education and other strategic interventions. Investigations on language and memory have resulted in works that reflect on the passage of time and energy. Identity and politics have been recurrent themes of work, both autonomously and in collaboration with other people. Experimentation and speculation are at the core her practice.
She earned a Ph.D. in Urban and Regional Planning from the Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro, and a M.Sc. in Social Policy and Planning from the London School of Economics. She studied arts both at Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage in Rio de Janeiro and the National Academy of Arts and Design in New York. She also holds a B.Sc. in Management from Universidade Estadual de Santa Catarina.
She collaborates with social movements, community organizations, collectives and other groups of people who share similar ideas of humanity, society and social justice on a regular basis. She has worked as a full-time researcher and activist with NGO’s and International Organizations in the past (for further references related to that and selected publications see Earthly Issues).
