BOOK PRESENTATION

On September 12th, Thursday, at 18:30, we will host the presentation of the book “Aprender a Desaprender”, published by Dafne Editora and INSTITUTO, at Hangar (Lisboa). The event will feature an introduction by Paulo Moreira (editor of the publication) and André Tavares (Dafne Editora), followed by a conversation between Ana Balona de Oliveira (IHA / NOVA-FCSH), Marta Lança (Buala), and Yolana Lemos (CITAD, Banga Colectivo).
The book brings together architects, artists, critics, and contemporary authors, addressing various themes: the role of diasporas in history, aiming to rewrite emancipatory narratives about the relationship between the colonised and the coloniser; the scales of action in spatial practices; personal histories and pedagogical commentary. It features contributions from Ibiye Camp, Margarida Waco, Luísa Santos, Mónica de Miranda, Banga Colectivo, Natache Sylvia Iilonga, Thais Andrade, Gabriela Leandro Pereira, Lara I. C. Ferreira, Anyibofu Nwoko Ugbodaga, and Demas Nwoko.

This is one of the 45 projects supported by the “Arte pela Democracia” programme, an initiative of the Commemorative Commission of the 50th Anniversary of 25th April in partnership with Direção-Geral das Artes.

The exhibition "Crioulo Garden - Process" offers a unique insight into the design and development of the Greenhouse exhibition project, the Portuguese representation at the 60th Venice Biennale, curated by Mónica de Miranda, Vânia Gala and Sónia Vaz Borges. An interdisciplinary team collaborated with the artists and paulo moreira architectures on the design and execution of sculptural objects and living gardens inside the Palazzo Franchetti, and the exhibition showcases models, sketches, and photographs of the process. It will take place from October 3 to 31, with an opening and talk on the 3rd at 6:30 pm, featuring Ana Trabulo (ArtWorks), Marcela Canadas (Greenhouse), and Paulo Palma (landscape architect), moderated by architect Paulo Moreira.

Partnership: Hangar, ArtWorks
