Artist's Statement: Art is a tonic for the human spirit. Without it, we are empty shells, with no perspective of beauty, tolerance and love. In my life I have struggled with issues of religion and faith, immigration and displacement, politics and identity. These things, in turn, inform my work. Having read Rollo May's "Courage to Create" at the age of fourteen, I knew what I wanted do for the rest of my life.

Artist's Statement: Fornasaro was born and raised in the city of São Paulo, Brazil. Currently living in Massachusetts, she has shown in multiple galleries, universities, and museums, including Boston’s MFA and MIT Media Lab. An interdisciplinary artist working with oil paintings, sculpture, installation, and digital art, her work is heavily influenced by her upbringing in one of the biggest cities in the world. Surrounded by uncontrolled urban growth and limited exposure to nature, Fornasaro explores the social understanding of humans' relationship with the environment and its consequences. Inspired by a combination of childhood memories, current events, and Brazilian folklore, her work carries symbolic ideas and parallels around beauty, decay, nature, and the city. Through vibrantly painted narratives she reimagines the anxiety of living in an age of ecological upheaval and the values we teach to the next generations with the aim to inform, inspire and empower the viewer to be a positive force for change.

Artist's Statement: Having grown up in Brazil, my work is deeply influenced by the colorful Brazilian culture and landscapes, in the same measure that it is marked by the country’s violent and convoluted history. Being an immigrant and dual citizen offers a disturbing perspective, that the spiraling degradation of Brazil’s environment, natural resources, democracy, and political scenario are not isolated events. Brazilian thinker Paulo Freire and his Critical Pedagogy have taught me that a dialog is the only true form of education, and this premise continuously influences my creative practice. Within every aspect of my professional practices, I strive to listen and learn, and welcome my peers and communities into a conversation, seeking to offer a sense of participation, agency, and the space for critical thinking. Through listening, learning and a collaborative mindset we avoid conforming to outdated colonialist and imperialist discourses, narratives, behaviors, and practices. I am fueled by the thought that fatalism can be overcome and that alternatives abound. I want a future where no one will dare say, "it has always been this way" to justify the unthinkable. Love, sweat, joy, and tears, Julia
