Anne de Andrade

Anne Jesuina Tobias de Andrade (all pronouns) (1989) is a decolonial, anti-disciplinary artist of Northern Dutch and Afro-Brazilian descent, based in Utrecht, the Netherlands. Anne is also one of the two first Speakers for the Living in the world’s first public Zoöp: the Amstelpark in Amsterdam. Their work moves between post-activism, multispecies justice, and somatic abolitionism, and investigates the relationship between worldview, emotion, embodiment, relationship and ecology. Through writing, music, voice, moving images, and performance, they seek to uncover the invisibilized socio-somatic dimensions of white “supremacy” culture, in order to heal individual and systemic wounds and to find regenerative sources for transformation and power. 

Anne graduated from the MA Ecologies of Transformation at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam in June 2023. Their work has been presented at the Eye Filmmuseum, CBK Zuidoost, CC Amstel, OEROL, and the Embassy of the North Sea.

In October 2025, Anne started as Speaker for the Living in a Dutch municipality, becoming the first person in the Netherlands to formally represent more-than-human life in municipal decision-making, together with Theun Karelse. In 2025, Anne was initiated into the Afro-Brazilian religion Candomblé in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. This is part of reconnecting to their Brazilian family and committing to truly embrace the decolonial visions that inform their body (of work).
