Paulo Nazareth (b. Old man from Nak Borun [Vale do Rio Doce], Brazil / South America) lives and works throughout the world. His multidisciplinary practice—spanning performance, video, and installation—often takes form through encounters on the road. Embodying simple gestures with vast social resonance, his work addresses migration, race, and colonialism, foregrounding those rendered invisible by political and economic systems. Travel functions as both medium and method, a means of confronting inherited narratives of nationhood and belonging. Nazareth’s projects have been exhibited internationally, challenging the boundaries between image, testimony, and action while insisting on art’s potential to reimagine human solidarity in a globalized world.

Nazareth’s recent solo shows include ‘Patuá/Patois’ (WIELS, Brussels, early 2025), ‘NAZARETHANA’ (Mendes Wood DM, São Paulo, Sept–Oct 2025) and the long-term ‘Esconjuro’ (Inhotim, 2024-25).
