Eleonora Fabião
(Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, 1968) Performance artist and theorist. She has been widely performing, participating in exhibitions, lecturing, teaching, and publishing internationally. Her performances have been enacted in several contexts—galleries, biennials, festivals, classrooms, theaters—but mainly in the streets. Things That Must Be Done (Performa Biennial, NY, 2015) is the title of one of her works and, also, a way of referring to her artistic practice. Fabião is a professor at the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro; she holds an MA and a PhD in Performance Studies (NYU), and an MA in Social History of Culture (PUC-Rio). She is also a researcher at the Brazilian National Council for Scientific and Technological Development (CNPq).
