The Museum für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt am Main will be the first ever to provide insights into the œuvre of Brasilian artist Claudia Andujar. 18 February until 25 June, 2017.
The exhibition ‘Claudia Andujar. Tomorrow must not be like yesterday’ at the MMK 1 of the MMK Museum für Moderne Kunst Frankfurt am Main will be the first ever to provide extensive insights into the photographic œuvre of the artist Claudia Andujar (b. in Neuchâtel, Switzerland in 1931), a resident of Brazil.
In the 1980s, in conjunction with her activist involvement in efforts to protect the Yanomami, one of Brazil’s largest indigenous ethnic group, she produced her important series Marcados (Portuguese for ‘The Marked Ones’) the artist, these portraits were the beginning of an in-depth exploration of the Yanomami culture. In addition to the major Marcados series, the exhibition will present photographic workgroups dating from the 1960s to the present.
Not least of all in view of the continuing protests in Brazil and the country’s recently announced climate goals, Andujar’s œuvre is today as relevant and topical as ever.
