PROBLEMAS DO PRIMITIVISMO – A PARTIR DE PORTUGAL | CIAJG, Guimarães

“Problemas do Primitivismo – A Partir de Portugal” is an exhibition that, based on extensive research in Portuguese archives and collections, questions “primitivism” and its contradictions. The exhibition addresses the contexts of dictatorship, colonisation, anti-colonialism and post-colonialism, proposing a visual machine impregnated with images and artistic and cultural references that problematises the invention of the “primitive” and its persistence into contemporary times.

With works along side by Achille Mbembe, Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso, Bernardo Marques, Boris Groys, Canto da Maya, Cottinelli Telmo, Cristina Roldão, Cruzeiro Seixas, Mário Cesariny, Kiluanji Kia Henda and many others.

And suddenly it all blossoms | RIBOCA 2, Riga Biennial

RIBOCA2: and suddenly it all blossoms grew out of the urge to change our way of inhabiting the world through reaching out to other voices, sensibilities, and ways of making relationships. As an alternative to the deluge of hopeless narratives, the notion of re-enchantment became a frame for building desirable presents and futures, where the end of “a” world does not mean “the end of the world”. The present global circumstances resonate dramatically with the project and its urgent call for reinvention. Curated by Rebecca Lamarche-Vadel.
