Works by 63 artists from three continents are gathered together in the “Afro-Ibero-American Connections” exhibition opening on February 21 at the Union of Portuguese Capital Cities (UCCLA) in Lisbon.
Cruzeiro Seixas, Mário Cesariny, Salvador Dalí, Pablo Picasso, Joan Miró, Malangatana, Wilfredo Lam, Marcelo Grassmann, Fernando Botero, Eduardo Nery and Mito are among the artists represented in the show.
The exhibition has painters from Africa (Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea, Mozambique and Sao Tome and Principe), Europe (Portugal and Spain) and the American continent (Brazil, Chile, Argentina and Cuba).
The exhibition, curated by Cabral Nunes, is organized around three nuclei. “Authoritarianism, Dictatorship and Resistance” covers the period from ‘Estado Novo’ to the fall of the Soviet Union. “The Dawn of Democracies” shows works influenced by the revolutionary period and the construction of democratic systems, and the “Present-Future” nucleus brings together works produced in the context of globalization.
“Afro-Ibero-American Connections” is a UCCLA initiative curated by the Perve Multicultural Collective and has the institutional support of the Lisbon City Hall and the Museu Colecção Berardo.
The exhibition will be opened on February 21 at 7:00 PM at the UCCLA headquarters, 110 Avenida da Índia, in the presence of the Portuguese president, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, and will run until April 30, Tuesdays to Sundays from 10:00 am to 6:00 pm.
