Liene Bosquê

Liene Bosquê (b. 1980 in Garça, São Paulo) is a Brazilian visual artist and educator based in Miami. Her multidisciplinary art explores the complex relationships between people and their environments, often focusing on architecture, urban development, and collective memory. Bosquê is interested in the meanings that human beings attach to places and objects.

In her first solo show in the United States, Suspended Memories (2015) at the Point of Contact Gallery, Bosquê spent her time exploring the history of the city of Syracuse, and produced works for the show that unearthed demolished buildings now obliterated from the city’s landscape. The artist presented works in various media portraying several Syracuse landmarks, transforming them into constructions worthy of being memorialized and reinserted within the history of the city and the region. Bosquê emphasizes the importance of preserving places of symbolic affection in opposition to the constant renewing of the cityscape in the name of progress and industrialization.
