Janaina Wagner (São Paulo, 1989) is an artist and filmmaker who works across video, drawing and installations. Currently a Phd fellow at Le Fresnoy – Studio national des arts contemporains (FR), her work aims to provide a critical perspective on how humans establish systems of order and control in their surroundings. By appropriating historical narratives conveyed through diverse media forms, Wagner delves into how concepts of progress and legacy are expressed through a blend of stories, facts, images, and memories. In 2024, she directed the short film Quebrante.
