The exhibition Alô?, by artist Yuli Yamagata, opens on October 9, at 6:30 p.m., in the EA Exhibition Hall. The exhibition can be visited until December 13, Monday through Saturday, from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., with free entry to the public.

Yuli Yamagata was born in São Paulo in 1989 and graduated in Fine Arts, specializing in Sculpture, from the University of São Paulo.
Since 2015, she has been exhibiting her work regularly in Brazil and internationally.

Of Japanese descent, she has developed an interest in various aspects of the culture, such as shibori, a manual tie-dye technique, ikebana, and manga.

To create her pieces, Yuli Yamagata primarily works with fabrics, layering different textiles, textures, and patterns — from silk to velvet — while incorporating materials such as resin and paint, as well as objects of varied nature, whether organic or artificial. Yuli describes her creative process as something that originates either from the physicality of the material itself or from a preselected narrative.

Her works, always rich in layers, references, and overlaps, invite the audience to decipher and interpret the forms and origins of her objects, creating an intense interplay with the viewer.
