Sylvia Morgado

Artist Educator

Sylvia Morgado works initially with text, performance and installation to explore her interest in storytelling and human relationships, Sylvia’s works are minimal but multilayered. Much of them are characterised by an invitation to slow down and self-reflect. She uses a variety of materials – often found and upcycled – combining different mediums to make watercolour drawings, collage, artist books and sculpture. Recently, she felt the need to include the use of photography, video and sound, sometimes to register more historical facts and social concerns. Making use of thought-provoking techniques to engage the spectator, collaboration stands out in her works, which are often playful and poetic. This interest has led her to develop a more socially engaged practice. Inspired by her commitment to making arts accessible for all and by the power the arts have to connect people and promote wellbeing, in 2016, she created Interativos, a series of creative workshops in community spaces, care homes and social projects, that later expanded to community tours. Sylvia took part in the 2022 Artist Accelerator programme.
