for those interested in exploring the present
An open conversation that intertwines artistic practices, critical thinking and social activism. What does it mean to work together, create together, inhabit a space collectively?
The meeting takes its cue from the works in the exhibition 1+1. The relational years, where both function as a genuine device for relationship building. With Pakghor (The Social Kitchen), Britto Arts Trust creates a community kitchen that is not only a place for preparing food, but also a space for meeting, listening, and exchanging ideas. A temporary architecture that welcomes and activates, where the daily gesture of cooking becomes a form of resistance and collective construction.
OPAVIVARÁ!, with the work namoita, proposes a collective installation that invites participation and sharing, breaking down the distinction between artist and spectator. An alternative and organic refuge, it creates a fluid and welcoming space, an intimate hiding place where action replaces representation, proposing a different way of being together, free and relational.
