Chance Operations compiles samples of Marianna Olinger’s art, research and organizing work. Brazilian-luxembourguish, born in Brazil, currently based in Brooklyn, New York, Marianna makes experimental models to test possible functional, aesthetic and theoretical scenarios intended to inspire and contribute to human development in harmony with other species and the planet.
Marianna studied arts both in Rio de Janeiro (Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage) and New York (National Academy of Arts and Design). She also has degrees in urban planning (Ph.D., Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro), social policy and planning (M.Sc., London School of Economics) and administration (B.Sc., Universidade Estadual de Santa Catarina). She worked extensively as a researcher and activist in themes related to social justice (for further references related to that and publications see Earthly Issues).
