Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Lives and works in London.

Sylvia Morgado is a cross media artist and writer whose practice reflects her passion for words. Her work assembles installation, music, text, performance and interactivity. Bossa Nova is constantly an inspiration and as a result she has a poetic prose. Morgados stories are very short; fragments of daily life.

Morgado uses intriguing techniques to engage spectators. Words are displayed in different shapes and often explore the senses, leading to a multisensory participation of the viewer. This is an outstanding point in her works, which has influences of Helio Oiticica, one of the pioneers in the viewer participation movement. His work Tropiclia,Penetrables, presented in 1969 in a solo exhibition at the Whitechapel Gallery, London, invites visitors to interact with his paintings, sculptures and installations, and he named it Whitechapel experience.

Neo-Concretism, Fluxus, Conceptual and Pop Art, besides Concret Poetry and Modern Literature are others references in Morgados works.
