I am very happy to announce my book launch on March 15, 3pm at @mhkamuseum ! Come and celebrate with me!

Book launch Elen Braga (MER. Books)

Participants: Elen Braga (artist), Laila Melchior (writer and curator; coordinator Level Five, Brussels), Paulo Miyada (artistic director Instituto Tomie Ohtake, São Paulo; assistant curator Centre Pompidou, Paris), Ilse Roosens (curator Mu.ZEE, Ostend), and Joanna Zielińska (senior curator M HKA)
Moderated by Pieter Vermeulen (book editor)

Join us for the public launch of the first comprehensive monograph, published by MER. Books, celebrating 15 years of work by Belgian-Brazilian artist Elen Braga.
Renowned for her multidisciplinary approach—spanning performance, textiles, installation, sculpture, video, and public art—Braga’s practice explores themes of resilience, self-transcendence, religion, mythology, and identity. Her labor-intensive processes push both physical and conceptual boundaries, weaving together her Brazilian heritage and life in Belgium.

This beautifully designed book features essays by Raphael Fonseca, Laila Melchior, Paulo Miyada, Ilse Roosens, and Joanna Zielińska, along with Braga’s own writings.

📅 Saturday, March 15th, 2025, 15:00 - 16:30

📍 M HKA — Auditorium (Leuvenstraat 32, Antwerpen)

📖 Followed by a book signing session with the artist
