Group Exhibition

The exhibition Ancestral: Afro-Americas [United States and Brazil], at the Museum of Brazilian Art at FAAP, explores the cultural connections between the two countries through the African diaspora. Curated by Ana Beatriz Almeida and Lauren Haynes, it features 132 works by 73 Afro-descendant artists that investigate identity, body, dream, and space. The exhibition celebrates decolonial art and the resilience of African peoples in shaping contemporary cultural identities. Brazilian artist Heloisa Hariadne stands out with her work The strength that is to feed myself from you while I am with myself, a piece that emphasizes themes of affection and ancestry, adding an intimate and poetic perspective to the exhibition’s collective narrative.
