Career
[edit]In 2011, Nascimento and Pansera founded Beyond Entropy Africa, a limited company registered in Angola. Beyond Entropy Africa focuses on Luanda as the paradigm of the urban condition of the African Sub-Saharan region, a type of city that is defined by a lack of basic infrastructures and a high density of population. In 2012, Beyond Entropy Africa curated the Angola Pavilion at the 13th Architecture Biennale in Venice[3] with the title of their partnership ‘Beyond Entropy’.[4] In 2013, Beyond Entropy Africa curated the Angola Pavilion at the 55th Art Biennale in Venice entitled ‘Luanda, Encyclopedic City’ featuring the work of photographer Edson Chagas.[5][6]
She has been announced in July 2025 to be one of the two curators of the Sharjah Biennal in United Arab Emirates alongside Angela Harutyunyan.[7]
