Tininha Llanos (b. 1978, Cristina – MG, BR) lives and works in Serra da Capivara, Piauí, Brazil. She is a visual artist with a degree from UFBA, a curator, and a cultural manager. She also works as a tour guide (IFPI) and a visitor guide accredited by ICMBio in the Serra da Capivara National Park.
She is the founder and director of the CAPIVARA Artistic Residency, an initiative created from the desire to unfold, in the Caatinga territory, a long master’s research dedicated to the relationships between art, landscape, and ancestry.
She worked for 12 years in public policies and programs of the Ministry of Culture, starting in the Digital Culture team during Gilberto Gil’s administration, where she acquired extensive experience in cultural management, production, development, and analysis of projects.
As a visual artist, she has been a member of the Bahian collective GIA – Grupo de Interferência Ambiental for 25 years. She also develops original projects that investigate the relationships between community, territory, and memory, proposing counter-colonial views on nature and ecology. Her practice involves co-creation processes with elements of the landscape, resulting in poetic cartographies, flags, maps, artist’s notebooks, and handcrafted installations.
