Hammer Projects: Gê Viana

Hammer Museum

Sep 19, 2026 – Feb 7, 2027 Westwood

The Brazilian artist Gê Viana’s first US institutional show: an installation, a new sculpture and a film shot in rural Maranhão.

Viana works across collage, sound, video and installation, mixing analog and digital collage with painting and early twentieth-century photographic processes to fill the gaps official archives leave in Afro-Brazilian history. At the center is her 13-minute film Radiola de promessa (2025), which follows daily life deep in the countryside of Maranhão, in northeast Brazil, and the reggae that carries the region’s memory. Erin Christovale curates.
