Maria Saygua Andr\u00e9 is a French-Bolivian artist based in Brussels. Her work explores textile knowledge and narratives between Latin America and Europe through installations that merge sculpture, performance, and craft. She develops a ritualistic practice rooted in the territories she explores and the materials she shapes. Through this protocol, she constructs her plural identity. Actively engaged in sociocultural projects, she envisions art as a space for transmission, social connection, and the circulation of knowledge.<\/p>\n

A graduate of the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Brussels, she has presented her work in numerous Belgian and European institutions, including Bozar (Brussels, Belgium), The Constant Now x S.M.A.K. (Antwerp, Belgium), the Contextile Biennial (Guimar\u00e3es, Portugal) and the Royal Overseas League (London, United Kingdom). She has completed various artistic residencies, such as the TextielMuseum (Tilburg, Netherlands), Espronceda Institute x Art Nou (Barcelona, Spain), the Fondation Carrefour des Arts (Brussels, Belgium) and Kunsthal Gent x Stormopkomst (Ghent, Belgium). She recently received several awards, including the Sofam Prize in 2023, allowing her to pursue her research into textile and ceramic practices in Bolivia, her country of origin.<\/p>\n
