In the year Brazil hosts COP30 in Belém, MASP presents Histories of Ecology, an exhibition that broadens the idea of ecology beyond the climate crisis to encompass the intertwined relationships between human and more-than-human worlds.
Bringing together works by 116 artists — many from the Global South — the exhibition examines how colonialism, environmental racism, and capitalism have shaped contemporary ecological realities while foregrounding resilience, solidarity, and interconnectedness. Rejecting the notion of ‘nature’ as something separate from society, it instead proposes ecology as a living network of forces — fluid, relational, and constantly transforming.
Organized into five thematic sections, Histories of Ecology traverses spiritual, territorial, and planetary dimensions, inviting viewers to imagine more inclusive ways of inhabiting the world and to see the future as a shared, collective endeavor.
