Sonia Gomes: Cœur sauvage

Sonia Gomes’s practice is rooted in her Afro-Brazilian heritage and in her transformation of used textiles into quasi-organic sculptures. Drawing on stories, memories and rituals passed down through generations, she engages with textiles as carriers of personal and collective histories, turning them into a language of care, memory and resistance. Moving between art and craft, her work explores the connections between individual experience and shared cultural memory, while revealing the emotional and symbolic weight carried by everyday objects. The exhibition brings together a selection of works spanning the last twenty years of her practice, creating a dialogue between her sculptures and the architecture of the space.
