My work is my body, my body is my work surveys the career of renowned Portuguese artist Helena Almeida (b. 1934, Lisbon), featuring over 80 works in painting, photography, video, and drawing. Since the 1960s, Almeida has produced a singular body of work in which the importance of the body—registering, occupying, and defining space—and its performative encounter with the world has been a defining concern.
