    ANALIZE NICOLINI (Cacoal, 1974) is an artist-curator whose work unfolds through an expanded multimedia art practice. She is also a critic and curator of modern and contemporary art. Founder of the independent platform BraSA.Art, she is currently in artistic and curatorial residency at SOMA – People & Culture in Curitiba, Brazil. She holds a degree in Economics from FESP, Curitiba (1996), and a specialization in Marketing Management from the same institution (1998). She co-founded Ahom Educação, a publisher of textbooks and educational books, which won the 1st place Jabuti Award in 2012. An intersex cisgender woman, she explores themes related to identity, memory, and the relationship between humans, the environment, and society. Her artistic practice spans photography, performance, video, installations, and sculptures, proposing a rupture with the power structures that discipline identities and bodies. She invites viewers to reflect on the narratives imposed upon them and to reclaim their own stories as an act of resistance. She seeks to intersect fields of knowledge such as psychology, sociology, and activism to build better human relations, addressing existential philosophical questions like the inevitability of life's finitude, as well as environmental, anthropological, and social issues in the Anthropocene era.

     

    Her EDUCATION includes: Curatorial Studies Online at Node Center (Berlin, 2022) and a Master in Curatorial Practices: Accessibility, Representation and Diversity (Berlin, 2023); a master's degree in Environmental Humanities from Ca'Foscari University (Venice, 2021-2022); Residency in Curatorial Practices at the Venice School of Curatorial Studies (Italy, 2019); Photography at Omicron, with Osvaldo Santos Lima (Curitiba, 2009-2010); Curating at UAL (London, 2012); II Seminar on Emerging Thought Panorama with Cristiana Tejo (Recife, 2013); and at the Parque Lage School of Visual Arts, where she studied Painting with Luiz Ernesto, Creative Writing with Fernanda Lopes, and Creative Processes with Charles Watson. She also completed a postgraduate course in Modern and Contemporary Art Criticism and Curating with Paulo Sergio Duarte (2016-2019).

     

    Her main EXHIBITIONS include: the solo exhibition Nas Feridas Que Eu Alcanço, SOMA Galeria (Curitiba, 2022); Luzes do Leblon, Praia do Leblon (Rio de Janeiro, 2019); D'Água, Judith Munk (Araras, Rio de Janeiro, 2019); Ending In Venice, urban intervention in Dorsoduro (Venice, 2020); If You Need Art to Act, urban intervention at Largo do Carmo (Lisbon, 2024).

     

    Her most significant CURATORIAL WORKS include: Daqui De Onde Estou (From Where I Am) at SOMA Galeria and WeExhibit during the 59th Venice Biennale (Venice, 2022), in partnership with curator Fernanda Andrade; production and curation of Anecdotes on Origins, AplusA Gallery (Venice, Italy, 2019). Analize’s curatorial approach seeks to transcend traditional exhibition systems, breaking down barriers between the artwork and the audience. She promotes an inclusive, participatory approach, stimulating dialogues that explore the urgency of social and environmental issues. In 2019, Analize founded BraSA+ (an acronym for Brazil and South America), a platform that researches, exhibits, and distributes contemporary South American art through lenses, integrated media, and digital technologies. The platform aims to give visibility to South American artists and broaden the dialogue around their works.


    Among her most recent projects is Minha História Deixa Que Eu Conto (My Story Let Me Tell It) (2024), which challenges the audience to reflect on their own stories, emphasizing the importance of respecting individual and collective narratives. In addition to her work as an artist and curator, Analize provides consulting services for artistic, curatorial, cultural, philanthropic, social, and environmental projects. Born in the Brazilian Amazon, in the state of Rondônia, she moved to Curitiba, in southern Brazil, in her early teens, where she maintains her residence and her artistic and curatorial studio.
