After a three month residency on the topic on Invisibility/Visibility, we featured the results of twenty artists, their processes, their conclusions, and a collective reflection on the stay at the day care centre for adults and the psychiatric hospital in lisbon. 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 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, aiming 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 centre for adults, 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.
