A possibility – Marzia Martinet
To celebrate the 50th anniversary of April 25 is to remember the historic moment when Portugal freed itself from an authoritarian regime and paved the way for democracy, freedom and human rights. In this context, Apaixonarte is hosting the exhibition EU SOU OUTRA PESSOA, by Hilda Reis with the collective of artists and craftspeople, Art & Craft Refúgio, who represent a contemporary symbol of this freedom.
Voices from different backgrounds, migrants and refugees, have space here to express themselves artistically and contribute to building an inclusive society.
“Ruin the pretty pictures!” This was the phrase that artist Hilda Reis repeated over and over again during the first Art & Craft session of 2024 at Residências Refúgio project by LARGO Residências. Scissors in hand, the participants began to carefully follow the instructions and old photos, carved up, awoke to a new life.
