Espaço Luanda Arte is back with an address in downtown Luanda and premieres exhibition

Espaço Luanda Arte (ELA), a project dedicated to contemporary art that has been in existence for more than seven years – two of them closed due to the pandemic – will reopen its doors this Thursday in a new space, the former Portuguese School.

Art moves to the Cunha & Irmão SARL warehouse, located at Rua Alfredo Troni 51/57, in downtown Luanda, right next to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

For the opening, scheduled for 6:00 pm, the space will present an exhibition by Angolan artists Nelo Teixeira and Hamilton Francisco entitled "We, Os Do Makulusu", a work on cotton paper, inspired by the homonymous literary work by José Luandino Vieira, written in 1967, when he was imprisoned in the Tarrafal Concentration Camp, on the island of Santiago, in Cape Verde (Campo de Trabalho de Chão Bom).

Nelo Teixeira and Hamilton Francisco are two brothers, now living in the diaspora, united by friendship but also by the experiences (often suffered) in the streets of Luanda, says a statement sent to VerAngola by the gallery. The starting point of the exhibition was a book of sketches by Nelo Teixeira and then handcrafted matrices and serigraphs printed on cotton paper.

"The viewer walks alongside these two artists of each work, as if it were a journey through the streets of Angola. , "We, Os Do Makulusu" gives way to "We, Os De Angola."

After the opening, the exhibition can be visited between Tuesday and Sunday, until April 30, from 12:00 to 20:00.
