Aline Baiana (Salvador, 1985. Lives between Salvador, Rio de Janeiro, and Berlin) develops a research-based practice focused on the ontological conflict between the global Norths and Souths, with an emphasis on traditional knowledge and the resistance of the communities from which it emerges. She recently spent time in Palestine, where she began a piece on migration and anthropogenic borders. She is currently developing a film about oil exploitation and quilombola communities in the Baía de Todos-os-Santos. Baiana has participated in exhibitions in Brazil, Europe, and Western Asia, including the 14th Sharjah Biennial and the 11th Berlin Biennale. Her work is part of collections such as Kadist (Paris, San Francisco) and the Contemporary Art Collection of the Friends of the Nationalgalerie (Berlin). Her research was supported by the Berliner Förderprogramm Künstlerische Forschung (2022–2023).
