Anna Maria Maiolino, an artist always present on the museum scene, and she proves it! The Musée Picasso invites you to discover its new exhibition, entitled Je suis là. Estou aqui, dedicated to the Brazilian artist, from June 14 to September 21, 2025. The first presentation of her work in France, theexhibition, organized as part of the Saison France-Brésil 2025, looks back over the career of this major figure incontemporary art, Golden Lion of the Venice Biennale in 2024, without being a retrospective, as the artist likes to say.
"This title affirms that I am always here, always at work, and always engaged in a vital dialogue," she explains in a statement. Theexhibition thus explores the central themes of her work: exile, social and political conditions in Brazil, as well as questions of gender and censorship.
Anna Maria Maiolino, born in Italy and based in Brazil, has left her mark on the history of art with a body of work that spans a variety of media, including drawing, sculpture, performance and film. A member of the Brazilian New Figuration group, she has worked alongside such figures as Lygia Clark and Hélio Oiticica. Her works, sometimes using her own body as a support, question the socio-political issues of her time. An exhibition about memory and identity, the image and manifestation of the artist's very existence, but also the attachment and detachment to an origin, a place. An exhibition which, as with foreign languages, is an exploration of one's own expression.
Part of a program dedicated to major female artists, initiated by the Musée national Picasso-Paris in 2022, this exhibition follows retrospectives of Farah Atassi, ORLAN and Sophie Calle. Thanks to the support of the artist's gallery and the Institut français, it offers a unique perspective on a body of work at the crossroads of media, between poetry, performance and visual experimentation. An opportunity to discover an essential artist in the panorama of contemporary art.
