Coming Ashore
Inês Amado + Sonia Boyce
Paul Goodwin (Tate Britain)
From July 6 to July 31
The historic area of Belém, with its stories of trade, travel and empire, is the core of this art project seeking the local poetry to explore issues of migration and political shift.
The project includes two installations by Inês Amado, an artist with a special interest in dialogue processes of exchange contained in collaborative work; and Sonia Boyce, an artist integrated in the TATE collection, having achieved reputation as a painter in 1980. Boyce has been showing a concern with social inclusion and cultural differences. A debate will be led by curator Paul Goodwin (Tate Britain).
► CCB Fora de Si
António Ole
From August 5 to September 11
António Ole’s intervention in the Containers project comes after "The entire world/transitory geometry" (2010) that he directed at Hamburger Banhof in Berlin.
Born in Luanda, Angola, in 1951, António Ole lives and works in this city. His work includes drawing, painting, sculpture, collage, installation, photography, video and film. The contemporary vernacular expressive forms of his native Angola, particularly the popular architecture of the musseques (slums), where he recognizes creativity and energy that have always fascinated him, constitute his artistic references. His work follows the encounter of two cultures: African culture and European culture.
