Born in the Atlantic Rainforest (São Paulo, 1985), she is a Brazilian visual and performance artist and a researcher of rock art, Pre-Columbian art and rainforest history. Her collaborative performances in archaeological sites explore women's roles in art and history, proposing an expansion of the conceptual horizon of the Atlantic World. Developing a series of photographs and videos through these performances, Anita and collaborators such as Sandra Nanayna (Tariano) and Sandra Benites(Guarani Nhandeva, anthropologist and curator) discuss the role of Indigenous people allied with members of the African diaspora in the history of the Atlantic Rainforest.
