Exhibition "RECONSTRUCTING – Affective Cartographies"

There is a growing sense that the world is asking us to slow down, listen more attentively, and reconsider how we inhabit the planet. At the intersection of art, ecology, and emotion, the exhibition... REBUILDING - Affective Cartographies It emerges as a poetic refuge and, at the same time, as a powerful call to action.

Hosted by the FAMA Museum in Itu (SP), the exhibition brings together five female artists from Brazil, Chile, and Italy, whose practices transform environmental urgency into a sensitive experience. On display from February 7 to May 16, 2026, the exhibition invites the public not only to observe—but to inhabit the art.

The feminine gaze as a force for transformation.

Inspired by the words of philosopher Donna Haraway — “There is no outside of nature; we are within a network of relationships that must be thought about, narrated, and reconfigured” — RECONSTRUCTING places the human at the center of decisions, guided by a sensibility recognized as feminine.

Care, attention, emotion, courage, and reflection structure the affective architecture of the exhibition. This is not art that explains; it is art that feels. Contemporary in language and technique, the works invite the visitor to learn through experience, observation, and empathy.

Five artists, one shared conviction.

Even while acknowledging the environmental deterioration and collective despair, the artists refuse to succumb to inaction. Instead, they offer visual narratives rooted in resilience and regeneration.

• Yto Aranda presents ((eco))system, an immersive installation that translates the hidden communication of Chile's sclerophyllous forests through light, sound, sisal-woven modules, and sensory technologies — inviting the public to an active dialogue with plant intelligence.
• Marina Bellino Transforming glass mosaics into constellations of resistance in Amazônia em Fragmentos, her work listens to the Earth while amplifying the voices of the indigenous peoples of the Javari Valley and the delicate dynamics of the Amazon's "flying rivers."
• Klaudia Kemper It investigates the relationship between the female body, territory, and interdependence through suspended cotton canvases, inspired by the philosophy of Good Living — existing in harmony with the cycles of nature.
• Soledad Neira She turns her gaze to the unseen heroes of the ecosystem. Her portraits of insects, embroidered on recycled and darned fabrics, celebrate adaptation, work, and the silent beauty of life forms essential to the planet's survival.
• Clara Salina In "Codes of the Future," the author confronts consumer culture by tracking plastic waste through barcodes and bringing to the forefront an actor often absent from the environmental debate: supermarkets. Their work questions who, ultimately, holds the power to shape sustainable futures.
