Roda Viva, 2025 

Mostyn Gallery, Landudno, Wales, UK

Drawing inspiration from da Silva’s own Brazilian heritage - family history, music, dance, and the legacy of Brazilian artists such as Hélio Oiticica- the exhibition explores themes around identity, ancestry, destiny, joy and memory. 

Roda Viva, which translates to ‘live wheel’, references life in motion or the movement in life. The exhibition- featuring textiles, sculptures and works on paper- is centred around the various cycles of lives, the histories carried from generation to generation, and the interconnectedness of past, present and future. 

Roda Viva is curated by Kalliopi Tsipni Kolaza, Curator of Visual Arts, Mostyn.

The exhibition is kindly supported by the Foundation Foundation, the Ampersand Foundation and the Henry Moore Foundation.
