ANALIZE NICOLINI (Cacoal, 1974) is an artist, curator, and critic of modern and contemporary art, a researcher, and the founder of BraSA.Art, with an active practice between Brazil and Europe. Her research articulates artistic and curatorial practice to engage residues, technology, representation, and the politics of the gaze from South America.
A cisgender intersex woman, she investigates identity, self-representation, normativity, dissident bodies, memory, waste, systems of value, and the relationships between body, city, social structure, environment, and political imagination. She works with photography, video, performance, installation, sound, sculpture, and exhibition protocols, understanding documentation, mediation, and circulation as constitutive dimensions of the work.
Currently, in dialogue with SOMA – People & Culture, in Curitiba, she is developing an ongoing platform of work that brings together artistic and curatorial occupation, studio practice, exhibition, and public presentation. Within this context, the projects AQUI ONDE ESTOU — resto, risco, ruína e rastro (2025) and Insistir em Existir: Protocolos de um Ateliê Público (2026) have been unfolding, as well as the public program carried out with Jonathas de Andrade in Curitiba, in 2026.
Her works and series include Luzes do Leblon (2018–2019), Ending in Venice (2019–ongoing), Xingamentos (2022), Por Uma Nova Ordem Mundial (2022), Nas Feridas Que Eu Alcanço (2022), Minha História Deixa Que Eu Conto (2024–ongoing), If You Need Art To Act (2024), Pequenos Grandes Traumas (2025), and Projeto Neon (2021–ongoing), which includes the works Aqui Todos Nos Lamberemos (2023) and Aqui Nos Resta Ser Feliz (2022).
Her trajectory includes the founding of Ahom Educação, a publishing house awarded the Jabuti Prize in 2012; a degree in Economics and postgraduate studies in Marketing Administration at FESP; curatorial studies at UAL, in London; a residency at the School for Curatorial Studies Venice; studies at the Node Center, in Berlin; and a postgraduate degree in Modern and Contemporary Art Criticism and Curatorship at the Escola de Artes Visuais do Parque Lage. Since 2024, she has been part of the study group led by Kamilla Nunes, with whom she maintains an ongoing critical and curatorial dialogue.
