Analize Nicolini (Cacoal, Rondônia, 1974) is a Brazilian visual artist, curator and researcher working between Brazil and Italy. Through photography, video, performance, installation, sound, sculpture and text, she examines how bodies and narratives are represented, how visibility is regulated and how value is assigned. As an intersex woman, she addresses self-representation, narrative sovereignty, memory and discard.
Recent artistic projects include My Story, Let Me Tell It (2024–) and Little Big Traumas (2025). In 2026 she presented the solo exhibition Insisting on Existing: Protocols of a Public Studio at SOMA – People & Culture, Curitiba, and is currently developing Insisting on Existing: Protocols of a Private Studio, an independent artistic and curatorial residency and ongoing process-based exhibition in the city.
Her curatorial work encompasses exhibitions, research and public programmes, with particular attention to the circulation of art produced in and from South America. In 2019 she founded BraSA.Art, an independent platform for artistic and curatorial projects and transnational exchange. Selected curatorial projects include Daqui de Onde Estou (From Where I Am; We Exhibit, Venice, 2022), co-curated with Fernanda Andrade; AQUI ONDE ESTOU — resto, risco, ruína e rastro (Here Where I Am — remainder, risk, ruin and trace; SOMA – People & Culture, Curitiba, 2025); and the public programme Jonathas de Andrade em Curitiba (2026).
In 2026 she completed the Summer@SIE course Contemporary Art & Curatorship at Ca' Foscari University of Venice and was admitted to its EGArt master's programme in Economics and Administration of Arts and Culture, beginning in September 2026.
