Works by Heitor dos Prazeres, Hélio Melo, Jaider Esbell, and Joseca Yanomami are featured in the exhibition Histories of Ecology, a new group exhibition at MASP. 

The exhibition, which occupies all the spaces of the Pietro Maria Bardi Building, seeks to address ecology as a network of interaction between living beings and the world in which they live, distancing itself from the idea that separates society and nature.   

It is common for environment and ecology to be treated as synonyms. However, we chose ecology to encompass a system of relationships between humans and more than humans—animals, plants, rivers, forests, mountains and fungi. We cannot think of nature as separate from humans,” says André Mesquita, who shares curatorial duties with Isabella Rjeille. In addition, the exhibition is divided into five sections that follow a linear order: Web of Life; Geographies of Time; Becoming; Territories, Migrations and Borders; and Inhabiting the Climate

On view until February 1, 2026.
