Juliana Lama is an artist from Brasília, dedicated to painting, alternative photographic processes, and street-based work through murals and lambe-lambe poster interventions. Her research explores narratives of Amazonian caboclo cosmoperception drawn from family experiences, their correspondences with the realm of dreams, and the intimate relationships between humans, animals, and spirits. She is a graduate student in the Visual Arts program at the Federal University of Bahia, pursuing a master’s degree in artistic creation processes at the School of Fine Arts.
In 2025, she took part in the group exhibition “Brincar Entre Atlânticos” at Parque Agouza and the Bayt al-Sinnari Cultural Center in Cairo, Egypt. Previously, she participated in the group exhibitions “Raízes: começo, meio, começo” at the National Museum of Afro-Brazilian Culture (Muncab) with the work “Igaçaba”, in Salvador; “Levantes Amazônicos” at the Belém Museum of Art (MABE) and Sesc Ver-o-Peso with the work “Do lado de cá da lente dos outros”; and Casa de Mulheres at the Museum of Modern Art of Salvador (MAM) with the work “Igaçaba”. She received awards from the SSA Mapping and Amazônia Mapping festivals in 2024. In 2018, she won the Transborda Brasília Contemporary Art Prize and has published two books: “Little Bicycle Tales” (2014), a comic book on gender and urban mobility; and “As Long as There Are Walls” (2018), a compilation of posters created for street interventions featuring short, poetic stories from a gendered perspective.
In 2025, Juliana participated in the 6th edition of the Vulica Brasil festival in Brasília, creating the mural “Sleep Dream Sound” at Galeria Nova Ouvidor (Beco do Rato) in Quadra 5 of the Setor Comercial Sul, depicting cultural symbols from Northern Brazil.
