About
Adriane de Souza´s work explores identity, movement, and belonging. With a background in Social Sciences from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and an MFA in Interdisciplinary Design Studies from VCUarts Qatar, she takes a multidisciplinary approach. Recently, she has deepened her interest in alternative photography printing, experimenting with materiality to expand storytelling.
Her work has been exhibited internationally, including in Brazil, Qatar, Russia, Singapore, the USA, the UAE, and UK. She has been featured in publications such as Vogue, GQ, The New York Times, Der Spiegel, The Telegraph, and Stern Magazine.
Beyond her personal practice, she has mentored students in photographic darkroom practices and has actively engaged in community projects that encourage participation in making and discussions in both Qatar and Brazil. Through these initiatives, she continues to advocate for accessibility and creative engagement.
