FALL 2025

Collective VIDEOART & PHOTOGRAPHIC RESEARCH

MADONNAS & FRIDAS


 
 

Museu da Imagem e do Som de Santa Catarina (MIS/SC)

 

A multimedia extension of the project MADONNAS E FRIDAS has become a videoart with an in-person launch date at the Museum of Image and Sound of Santa Catarina in Brazil.

The event offers the public the opportunity to explore the poetic and theoretical research, developed over nine months, which critically reflects on the subjective and political experience of motherhood through art and photographic language.

Drawing from her photographic series “Contemporary Madonnas” and “The Two Sabiás”, produced between 2012 and 2025, Ana Sabiá structures her research and essay writing, interweaving visual arts and creative processes, literature, and women’s history from feminist perspectives.

The Multimedia Room of the Museum of Image and Sound of Santa Catarina (MIS/SC) will host, on September 12 at 7 p.m., the launch event of “Madonnas and Fridas: Art and Motherhood as Political Agencies”, by artist Ana Sabiá.

This project was supported by the FUNARTE Marc Ferrez Photography Award – 17th Edition. Organized by: FUNARTE – National Arts Foundation; Ministry of Culture; Federal Government of Brazil.

SUMMER 2025

Artist Grant Recipient

 

I have no words to thank coLAB Arts for the support you have granted me.

This recognition comes in a moment when the importance of the arts and what we care so deeply for is being questioned, denied and erased of its meaning in a society. Thank you, because of what you do I can keep striving to do what I love.
— Jennifer Cabral
