Curated by Amanda Carneiro, curator, MASP, and Julieta González, curator at large, MASP, with assistance from Teo Teotonio, curatorial assistant, MASP.

The theme of the 2026 curatorial cycle is Latin American Histories, an international collective exhibition occupying five floors of the Pietro Maria Bardi building. Organized into five sections, the exhibition will investigate how the idea of Latin America was created and contested over time. Beginning with the violent and extractive processes of colonization, the exhibition examines the role of Baroque art and the invention of the tropical paradise as regimes of images that spread colonial power. This highlights how these dynamics shaped modernity in the region, as well as counter-narratives and forms of contestation. The exhibition also addresses communal forms of social organization among indigenous and Afro-descendant peoples, such as quilombos, palenques, and cumbes. Additionally, it explores utopian traditions that combat authoritarianism, including the Zapatistas. The exhibition considers the circulation of people, goods, and rhythms in migration and diaspora processes that connect Latin America to other regions. Finally, the exhibition explores indigenous conceptions of endings and renewal, inviting viewers to imagine possible futures in the face of present-day crises.
