Anna Maria Maiolino moved to Brazil in 1960 and developed a practice spanning printmaking, drawing, film, performance and clay installation. Her work often centers on bodily processes—eating, speaking, digesting, touching—and on repetitive hand labor shaped by migration, domestic experience and political repression.
