Pacific Breeze II

Januario Jano is an interdisciplinary artist (sculpture, video, photography, textile and sound installations, performance) holds an MFA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths University. Research is the substantive feature of his artistic practice. 

“My work has been exhibited internationally and is part of private and public collections. Research is the substantive feature of his artistic practice. Reflecting on the ideas of home and self, I constantly challenge my approach through history exploration and contemporary narrative catechism within the context of the growing interdependence of the world's economies, cultures, and populations. I am enthralled with the hypothesis of a delicate balance between fiction and reality, alarmed by the increasing concern over human and non-human coexistence, galvanized by the urge to create time and space feasible correlation. In this context the role of the body is pivotal, and its multidimensional representation occurs within the framework of proverbial globalization and cross-cultural interaction.” 

Januario Jano’s commitment to cultural and social engagement has led him to establish and found Pés Descalços, a cultural and philanthropic collective focusing on development and promotion of artistic projects. It complements the need for intervention and approach in a sustained and grounded manner to enhance the cultural movement in Angola. Since 2012, Januario Jano also has been the driving force in helping to rewrite Angola’s next chapter, from civil war-torn state to innovation hub with TEDxLuanda which he organizes and curates.
