Curated by Daniela Labra, the exhibition presents the first comprehensive overview in Brazil of one of the most emblematic artists in contemporary art.
Materializing her work across a variety of media and aesthetic supports, the artist became a pioneer in the investigation of poetics related to the body, ecology, archetypal femininity, ancestry, healing, ecology, criticism and performativity.
The exhibition will continue until 21 January 2024.
