Participating in the residency are the emerging Angolan artists H\u00e9lio Buite, Rui Magalh\u00e3es and Mwana Pwo.<\/p>\n

The program extends to artistic practices that communicate through creative processes that will be open to the public and that begin with a residency program preceded by an exhibition and performances.<\/p>\n

More information about the full program coming soon.

Photographer, visual and video artist, he explores life on the streets of Luanda, observing the city’s population and their systems and scenarios of adaptation to urban life. Studying the use and occupation of spaces, his practice is a mixture of critical archive of Luanda’s recent architectural history and urban archaeology, documenting the city’s inoperable relationships and the phenomena of African urbanism. He has exhibited in Vidrul Photography (2016) and participated in Fuckin’ Globo 2020 and 2021.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]H\u00e9lio Buite\u00a0<\/b>(Angola, 1992) lives and works in Luanda. A civil engineering graduate, he grew up in Luanda navigating and constantly switching between two different contexts: informal Luanda and formal Luanda. His artistic practice dives into different disciplines such as photography, video, installation, audio and documentation to analyze the ways in which families are central to African societies, as woven between the will to decolonization and the patent reality of their relationship of coloniality with the West – processing also the influences and effects of independence movements, neocolonialism, civil wars and the complexities of political system.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Mwana Pwo\u00a0<\/b>(Angola, 1988) lives and works in Luanda. A photographer and visual artist, Pwo portrays contemporary life with intensity and a contrasting eye, actively recording the multiple dimensions of the individual self while capturing the depth of social realities of modern day Angola. Her work also presents a feminist examination of social roles, experiences, and personal stories, which she sometimes explores through self-portraiture. Her visions are expressed primarily through documentary photography and portraiture. He is currently expanding his practice by experimenting with mixed media and techniques. His last intervention was in Fuckin’ Globo 2021.<\/div>\n

In his practice, he uses art as a method of transmitting and constructing history, exploring photography, video, performance, installation, object-sculpture, music and avant-garde theater as ways of materializing fictional narratives and shifting facts to different temporalities and contends. Using humor and irony, the artist represents the complexity of themes such as identity, politics, and perceptions of post-independence and modernity in Africa. Working in perverted complicity with historical legacy, he sees the process of appropriation and manipulation of public spaces and structures as different constructions of collective memory.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
