SYNOPSIS

After a three month residency on the topic on Invisibility/Visibility, we featured the results of twenty artists, their, their processes, their concluses, a collective reflection on their stay at the day care centre for adults in anjos and the psychiatric hospital pavilion 29. This exhibition will be on display throughout four weeks, making it a unique oportunity to meet the works, the participants, the artists and the territories.

We will reflect upon all of the topics around a place in a city that is both unwanted, invisible, but required and necesserary, therefore visible but only to a few. Bringing this inside outside and vice versa, aims at a more free discussion on topics such as mental health and ageing.

Showcasing at unconvencional exhibiting places like a public hospital and a day care, made us push boundaries around to whom are we exbithing for, our audience’s schedules and routines, obliging to them before us, and making sure all was in tune with their experience in artists practices ranging from video/photography, to collage, dance, ceramics, mapping, walks and tours, sound exploration.
