Reframing views of the global south
About artistic gazes and Atlantic geographies.

Resignification is an ideological language that seeks to create new perspectives on places, spaces and historical contexts. This language taken to the field of art allows for debate, artistic and curatorial reflection, disconnected from the standard narratives on a given subject.
In this scenario, the exhibition is a compilation of views that various artists have developed over a period of time on urban situations, with an emphasis on the social fabric on the shores of the Atlantic. The theme fits in with the critical thinking brought to different artistic languages and components explored to express themselves.
The exhibition project explores different languages such as photography, video art, abstract, figurative, landscaping and installation, through the aesthetics of artists from different geographies, namely Debora Sandjai (Angola), Yola Balanga (Angola), Banji Chona (Zambia), Astrid Gonzalez (Colombia), Bere Magalhães (Brazil), Fernanda Azevedo (Chile), Kay-Leigh Fisher (South Africa), Boytchie (South Africa).
