Opening Ana Vaz

Bettina Steinbrügge, Director general, and the Mudam team are delighted to invite you to the opening of the exhibition 'Ana Vaz: A câmera é o corpo (The Camera Is The Body)'.

Mudam presents the first major museum exhibition dedicated to Brazilian artist and filmmaker Ana Vaz (1986, Brasília), whose work explores the legacies of colonial modernity and their numerous repercussions on territories and their communities, whether human, animal, vegetal or spectral. Bringing together films, installations and photographic works from the past decade, 'A câmera é o corpo' transforms the museum’s spaces into an immersive environment where images, sounds, bodies and perspectives unfold through a spatial montage meticulously composed by the artist. The exhibition is organised around a central space dedicated to encounters, performances and myriad forms of conviviality.
