Sandra Gamarra Heshiki takes part in “Jangueando: Recent Acquisitions, 2021–2025”, on view at El Museo del Barrio, New York until 2026. Featuring nearly forty recently accessioned works, the exhibition reflects on spaces of gathering, kinship and collective resilience.
The first panoramic exhibition dedicated to Sandra Gamarra Heshiki brings together around 80 works produced over 25 years. Since the late 1990s, the artist has developed an institutional critique, exemplified by the creation of the fictional museum LiMac. Through the critical appropriation of paintings and sculptures—particularly from the colonial period—she employs the “replica” as a strategy to question established narratives and the supposed neutrality of museums. Organized in partnership with the Museu de Arte de Lima, the exhibition also challenges the traditional chronology adopted by Latin American museums.
Debret in Question – Contemporary Perspectives critically revisits the legacy of Jean-Baptiste Debret, particularly his work Voyage pittoresque et historique au Brésil (Picturesque and Historical Voyage to Brazil), through the lens of a vibrant generation of contemporary artists currently active in the country. Confronting the nineteenth and twenty-first centuries, France and Brazil, historical painting and new media, the exhibition proposes a dialogue between past and present, problematizing images, narratives, and historical constructions. Within this context, the participation of Sandra Gamarra Heshiki and Tiago Sant’Ana stands out, as their practices critically engage with colonial legacies and modes of historical representation. Curated by Jacques Leenhardt and Gabriela Longman, the exhibition is part of the France–Brazil Season 2025, celebrating 200 years of diplomatic relations between the two countries, following a more concise presentation at the Maison de l’Amérique Latine, in Paris.

Ancestral creates a dialogue between Afro-Brazilian and African American artists in celebration of the bicentennial of diplomatic relations between Brazil and the United States. The exhibition addresses themes such as body, dream, and space, encouraging reflections on Afro-American identity and decolonial art. Heloisa Hariadne’s work joins a selection of artists who celebrate African roots and their relevance in shaping a new perspective on contemporary art.
