Kássia Borges Karajá (Goiânia, 1962) is a visual artist, researcher, teacher, and curator. She lives and works in Uberlândia (MG), developing a body of work that dialogues with ancestry and issues related to the female universe. Inspired by the Karajá ceramic tradition, she uses clay as the main medium in her contemporary creations. In addition to her individual research, she is a member of the MAHKU collective (Movement of Huni Kuin Artists), which gained international recognition by participating in the 60th Venice Biennale in 2024.

In recent years, Kássia has been consolidating her presence in important institutions and art circuits. In 2023, she participated in the collective exhibition “Histórias indígenas” (Indigenous Stories) at MASP, a show that brought together productions by artists from different indigenous peoples to rethink narratives and expand the history of Brazilian art from an indigenous perspective. In 2025, she participated in the exhibition “Fullgás – Visual Arts and the 1980s in Brazil,” presented at the CCBB in São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Brasília, and Belo Horizonte, which revisits the artistic scene of the 1980s and its reverberations in the present. In the same year, the Ricardo Fernandes Gallery will present “Femme Jiboia,” a solo exhibition in which the artist deepens her research on female ancestry, spirituality, and cultural memory, reaffirming the unique character of her career in the field of contemporary art.
