Yanaki Herrera | Tal Como Sementes

Since 2005, the gallery inaugurates its annual exhibition calendar with Abre Alas, a group show that was born with the aim of opening space for new artists. This year, with the São Paulo headquarters just over 2 years old, and now with its expansion, A Gentil Carioca takes the opportunity of this space to bring new works by the artists Rose Afefé, Yanaki Herrera and Newton Santanna, participants of the 18th edition of Abre Alas, in 2023. The three exhibitions open on August 26, 2023 and will run until September 23, 2023.

Yanaki Herrera is a student of Visual Arts at UFMG. She was born in Cusco, Peru, and currently lives in Belo Horizonte. Her artistic research is focused on motherhood and its struggles. Through painting, she creates narratives that converse between ancestry and the present as a place of transformation. Her imagery is composed of elements that are born from body and cultural expressions in Latin America.
