Cosmocópula is an exhibition featuring new work by Andreia Santana, produced specifically for the spaces of the Centro de Artes Visuais. Curated by Miguel von Hafe Pérez, the exhibition explores themes of materials, memory, and the social and political concerns of the body in contemporary society.
The artistic practice of Andreia Santana is deeply rooted in an investigative approach to specific contexts, where the memory of materials plays a central role. Her work involves a rigorous process that ranges from the study of historical archives—where musealization and cataloging serve as tools to distinguish the non-anonymous elements of our planet—to a search for ancestral methods of object creation, working with diverse media such as iron and glass. In this exhibition, Santana shifts toward a more direct engagement with her own identity as an active participant in a world permeated by social and political unrest. The body, represented through its accessories, norms, and divergences, interacts with objects and allegories to examine existential themes. Through these works, which draw on feminist reverberations, the artist asserts a positive and engaged stance within the current cultural landscape.
Admission to the exhibition is free of charge. Visitors can find location details via the provided map link or visit the museum for further information.
