Nádia Taquary (Salvador, 1967. Lives in Salvador) explores Afro-Brazilian sacred traditions and practices, the presence of Black female protagonism, and its ancestral legacy. The artist’s work questions and deconstructs eugenic, Eurocentric, and patriarchal narratives that limit access to knowledge originating from pre-colonial African civilizations. In 2024, she participated in the 24th Biennale of Sydney and held a solo exhibition at the Museu de Arte do Rio (Rio de Janeiro). Her works are part of the collections of the Museu de Arte Moderna da Bahia (Salvador), Pinacoteca de São Paulo, Pérez Art Museum (Miami), Museum of Arts and Design (New York), Institute for Studies on Latin American Art (New York), and Museo Nacional Thyssen-Bornemisza (Madrid).
