Wouters Gallery is excited to show works by Elen Braga, a Brazilian artist living in Belgium. Renowned for her multidisciplinary approach spanning performance, textiles, installation, sculpture, video, and public art, Braga’s practice draws on resilience, self-transcendence, religion, mythology, and identity.
Her work often emerges from self-imposed, labor-intensive processes that are as physically challenging as they are conceptually rich, blending her Brazilian heritage with her life in Belgium.
Elen Braga was recently featured in group exhibitions at WIELS, M HKA, Mu.ZEE, Museum Hof van Busleyden and KIOSK. She had her first institutional solo in Belgium last year, at CC Strombeek. Her work is part of the collection of the Flemish Community collection and the National Bank of Belgium collection.
In March 2025, MER. Books published Elen Braga’s first monograph, celebrating 15 years of work. Featuring essays by esteemed art critics and curators Raphael Fonseca, Laila Melchior, Paulo Miyada, Ilse Roosens, and Joanna Zielińska, as well as the artist’s own writings, this monograph documents and critically contextualizes Braga’s oeuvre, shedding light on recurring motifs, underlying themes, and the complex interplay between art and life.
