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 residue.
Recent artistic projects include Minha História Deixa que Eu Conto (2024–) and Pequenos Grandes Traumas (2025). In 2026, she presented the solo exhibition Insistir em Existir: Protocolos de um Ateliê Público at SOMA – People & Culture in Curitiba. She is currently developing Insistir em Existir: Protocolos de um Estúdio Privado, an independent artistic and curatorial residency and ongoing process-based exhibition in Curitiba.
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 (We Exhibit, Venice, 2022), co-curated with Fernanda Andrade; AQUI ONDE ESTOU — resto, risco, ruína e rastro (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 the university’s EGArt master’s programme, where she will begin the English-taught curriculum in Economics and Administration of Arts and Culture in September 2026.
