Anna Maria Maiolino: ‘My body speaks to me and I’ve been listening to it since I was really young’

Anna Maria Maiolino, an 83-year-old Italian-born Brazilian artist, is the subject of a feature interview following her first solo exhibition in France, titled "Estou Aqui (I am here)", at the Musée Picasso in Paris.

In a new exhibition, Turkey displays the success of its heavyweight heritage drive

Turkey has opened a new exhibition titled "The Golden Age of Archaeology" at a national library in Ankara, showcasing 570 ancient artifacts—most unearthed in the past two years and displayed for the first time. Highlights include 11,500-year-old Neolithic vessels, a Bronze Age tablet revealing a previously unknown language (Kalasma), and a repatriated bronze statue of Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, which was smuggled out of Turkey in the 1960s and recently returned from the Cleveland Museum of Art after a legal battle. The exhibition is part of the government's Heritage for the Future project, which spends around $150 million annually on excavations, visitor centers, and museums, with active digs rising to about 800.
