1 – 6 September
Vernissage 01 September 6 pm
Amanda Elosa, Sebastian Cobo, and Yasmine Benabdallah met while doing an artist residency at Hangar, Artistic Research Centre in Lisbon, Portugal. These works, some finalised, others in-progress, echo their experiences in Lisbon and interactions with the city.
Looking for new narratives, Elosa’s work uses old love letters to create new crossover stories.
In “De/ Para”, postcard fragments are relocated to create new encounters, indicating the patterns of romantic narratives.
In “Histórias que não foram”, the artist uses old blank postcards to imagine the narratives that could have happened, but did not, giving space for the spectator to be the protagonist.
