Visual artist Vanessa Barragão brings her sustainable textile art to Expo 2025 Osaka, blending tradition with innovation. Internationally acclaimed for her tapestries and decorative pieces, the artist repurposes textile waste to create works that evoke the beauty and fragility of marine ecosystems.
Her work stands out for its strong environmental commitment, using ancestral handcrafting techniques to transform textile industry waste into vibrant, textured compositions. Her creations are not just artistic objects but also visual manifestos on climate change and the urgent need to preserve the oceans.
At Expo 2025 Osaka, her work will offer a reflection on the relationship between art, nature, and sustainability, bridging Portuguese tradition with the ecological awareness that connects cultures on a global scale.
