Join us for this year’s Annual Student Lecture, featuring internationally acclaimed artist Rosana Paulino in conversation with curatorial fellow Madeline Murphy Turner and Harvard graduate student Luci Williams.
Paulino’s work centers around social, ethnic, and gender issues, with a focus on the experiences of Black women in Brazil and the types of violence they suffer due to racism and the lasting legacy of slavery. Her artistic practice examines the ways historical narratives shape contemporary identities and incorporates myth, memory, and image reconstruction to challenge inherited colonial structures.
Paulino’s watercolor drawing Untitled from Jatobá series (2022), recently acquired by the Harvard Art Museums, will be on view in Gallery 1120, as part of the installation Drawn to Earth: Contemporary Art and Environment in the Americas, from April 12 to October 5, 2025.
Following the lecture, guests are invited to visit the installation.
Speakers:
Rosana Paulino, Artist
