Angélica Dass is an award-winning Hispanic-Brazilian photographer whose practice combines photography with sociological research and public participation in the defense of human rights worldwide. She is the creator of the internationally acclaimed Humanæ Project, a collection of portraits-in-progress that reveal the diversity in the beauty of human color and stands as an extraordinary global anti-racist testimony.
Her work has been shown at the World Economic Forum (Davos), UN-Habitat III, the Montreal Fine Arts Museum, The Hague Museum, the Musée de l'Élysée in Lausanne, National Museum of Ethiopia, Gewerbemuseum Winterthur, the Dublin Science Gallery, PhotoEspaña, American Museum of Natural History in New York, Fotografiska; in the streets and museums of Madrid, Bilbao, Chiasso, Zagreb, Milan, Thessaloniki, São Paulo, Mexico City, Austria, Santiago de Chile, Pittsburg, Kingsport, Seoul, and many other cities; in the pages of National Geographic, Foreign Affairs, BBC, and many other relevant media.
Dass' work transcends the museums and finds a great universe of work in school classrooms. She amplifies the educational message of her work through institutional partnerships around the world, such as collaborations with city councils of different cities in the Basque Country, teacher training schools in Madrid, high schools in the Czech Republic, or with UNESCO and the Government of Chile, reaching an impact of more than 50 thousand students in a week positioning photography as a tool to fight against racism in schools.
Dass is also a powerful and inspiring speaker who has lectured at major organizations, such as TED, the University of Salamanca, University of Bologna, as well as the Tate Modern, National Geographic, and the World Economic Forum, as a cultural leader.
In 2021, she published the children's photobook "The Colors We Share" with Aperture, with whom she also produced an educational curriculum used in New York City public schools.
In 2014, she was selected by Time Magazine as one of the "Nine Brazilian Photographers to Watch" and in 2022 she was awarded the Red Cross Gold Medal by Her Majesty Queen Letizia, who recognized her artistic work, stating that "in this diversity [Angélica Dass] has found a way to create in order to transform us."
Her work is in the permanent collections of the National Museum of Science and Technology in Milan, the Alcobendas Arts Center, the Tel Aviv University Museum, the María Cristina Masaveu Peterson Foundation, the Bibliothèque Nationale of Paris, and the American Museum of Natural History, among others.
