Exposition “Crises”

30th September to 5th October

Casa das Associações – FADJP – 3º Floor

Rua de Mouzinho da Silveira, 234

Struggles and resistance – Art as a liberating expression of the interior.

The voices of change are already being heard, they are already being felt. Sometimes they bother. The theme Crises arises, almost naturally, in dialogue with the current context.
Women have always been more exposed to all kinds of crises: economic, social, environmental and, above all, rights.
With this exhibition, we want to generate debate and reflection about the Crises that affect women – to look around and expose different realities and worlds of those who are concerned, giving voice to their works and making them reach new horizons. It is an encounter with the visions of visual artists about the theme: we will hear the screams, whispers and expressions that point us to a crisis.

For its 4th edition, PORTO FEMME – International Film Festival, launched a special invitation to women artists, from Portugal and around the world, to present works in the field of visual arts that fit the Crisis theme. The idea is to create a body of diverse works, which are organized and create dialogue with each other, connected by the theme and with the same origin: being creations of women-artists.
In this edition, the exhibition was developed in partnership with the University of Beira Interior, in particular with students of the first cycle courses in Cultural Sciences and the Masters in Cultural Studies.
This exhibition has an itinerant character, taking place in two distinct moments and spaces.

Crises had its debut in Covilhã between 11th of June and the 4th of July in Covilhã. In this second moment, the same exhibition will be on display at Casa das Associações in Porto between the 30th of September and the 5th of October.
The exhibition includes 47 works by 26 artists.
