Camila de Andrade Bianchi is an interdisciplinary artist with an emphasis on ceramics, researcher, and educator. She recently concluded her MFA at Arizona State University and graduated with a BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 2022. In 2025, she was awarded the Phoenix Artists to Work Grant from the City of Phoenix Office of Arts and Culture. Her work has been exhibited internationally in the United States, Asia and Europe. In her multimedia practice, Camila works at the intersection of art, ecology, and pedagogy through performance, sculpture, and installation.
de Andrade Bianchi’s practice revolves around ecologies in which she investigates the potential of human and more-than-human interdependence. In her work, she interrogates ideas of regeneration, systems of care, and interspecies communication. Central to it is the process of composting, which is characterized as a collaborator and educator in artistic making. As an intermediary agent between life and death, composting is a practice that informs the processing of decay through habitual care and embodied learning.
Composting in her work is a method of developing literacies that facilitates an attunement of our senses to detect decay and to listen to the teachings of becoming intimate with our waste. In this context, composting is conceptualized as an art practice and a model for social and ecological regeneration that assists in the breakdown and return of decaying systems of capital back to the soil.
Using immersive forms of decomposition, her research and artistic practice take multimedia approaches such as participatory performances of sonic collective chewing and spitting, ceramic sculptural composting systems, and the playful use of alternative caretaking tools. Through this, de Andrade Bianchi aims to nurture an attunement to interdependent relationships, where communal acts of breakdown grant us the tools necessary to fertilize better futures.
