Ana Teresa Barboza Interwoven Stories, 2025 ,  Vallisaari Island

We are pleased to share that Peruvian artist Ana Teresa Barboza is participating in the third edition of Helsinki Biennial 2025 with her latest installation Interwoven Stories, on view at the Alexander Battery on Vallisaari Island.

Curated by Kati Kivinen and Blanca de la Torre, this year’s biennial explores the theme of Shelter, reflecting on the fragile relationship between humans and the natural world. Barboza’s work weaves together tree bark fibres from the Amazon and Nordic forests, connecting cultural traditions through craft. Created in collaboration with the Mariche family—artisans from Puerto Maldonado, Peru—the installation highlights the reciprocal histories between plants and people.

Location: Vallisaari Island, in Esplanade Park, and at HAM Helsinki Art Museum.

Duration: 8 June to 21 September, 2025
