Exploring body, identity and nature through ephemeral art by a trailblazer
Discover power works by Cuban-born American artist Ana Mendieta, where the human body meets earth, fire and water in striking, ephemeral forms. The exhibition features her iconic Silueta Series alongside early paintings, late sculptures and newly remastered films, many appearing in the UK for the first time.
Mendieta’s work questions displacement, identity and the human connection to nature, capturing both presence and absence with powerful immediacy. Outside the gallery, her influence continues in site-specific installations, inviting reflection on the environment. The show offers a rare, immersive insight into a pivotal artist’s legacy.
