Fish to the Sea Workshop and Installation with Tarcila de Figueiredo Neves
Build your own fish and release it into a seascape, led by artist Tarcila de Figueiredo Neves!
Hi, I’m Tarcila Neves. A mixed Afro Indigenous Portuguese woman, and an emerging artist. Growing up in the vibrant Gueto district of Rio de Janeiro, art has always been my solace and my passion. From a young age, I immersed myself in fine arts studies. After graduating in Industrial Design, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery and artistic exploration. I worked in different fields, saving every penny to pursue my dream of studying digital art in Toronto and concept art in Vancouver. I’m passionate about making art accessible to all. I specialize in creating augmented reality experiences accompanied by audio descriptions aiming to make art accessible to everyone, including those with visual impairments. In 2024, I achieved a significant milestone: my first selection for an immersive installation at the Port of Oak Bay. It was deeply meaningful as my dad, who passed away earlier this year 2024, was my constant source of support and inspiration.
