Carola Bravo is a Venezuelan American artist, architect based in Miami. Her work ranges from immersive, site-specific video and art installations to architectural public art. Through themes of change, home, exile and hope, she examines our sense of belonging through the ordering of space. Her solo exhibitions in Miami include "Blurred Borders" at the Frost Art Museum (2016) and "Inhabited Geometries" at Bernice Steinbaum Gallery (2019). In 2023 The Bass unveiled her "Between Absence and Presence," winner of its New Monuments open call: an inverted pedestal covered in mirror that reflects viewers where a commemorative object would be expected. She is a former professor and chair of architecture and art at Simón Bolívar University in Caracas, and holds a PhD in architecture and an MA in art history from Venezuela's Central University and a BSc in architecture from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.
