By Álvaro de Benito

The Kunsthalle Lissabon presents Quinze Anos de Amor na República dos Pangolins (Fifteen Years of Love at the Pangolin Republic), the third and last exhibition with which the institution celebrates its fifteenth anniversary. On this occasion, the center has invited curator Filipa Ramos, one of the Portuguese professionals with the most international projection, who has managed to put together a roster of artists with a strong Latin American presence, with Ad Minoliti, Amalia Pica, Daniel Gustav Cramer, Flora Rebollo, Gabriel Chaile, Haris Epaminonda, Irene Kopelman, Jonathas de Andrade, Luís Lázaro Matos, Mariana Caló and Francisco Queimadela, Mounira Al Solh, Nuno Sousa Vieira, Sheroanawe Hakihiiwe, Sol Calero, Teresa Solar Abboud and Wilfredo Prieto.

The exhibition aims, with the incorporation of the total of the fifteen artists mentioned, and who have exhibited at some point in the halls of the space, to illustrate and commemorate with one name per year the three lustrums of activity of Kunsthalle Lissabon and that make up a compendium of different styles, expressions and actions that represent the active proposal of the Portuguese center in the artistic life of Lisbon.

 

The works exhibited and proposed by Ramos seek to enhance the values of collaboration and community, expressions of love and regeneration, presented with different approaches. Under the allusion to the Republic of the Pangolin, a concept materialized in the flag designed by the artist Luís Lazaro Matos in 2020, the exhibition recognizes the value and alludes to the possibility that any concept can become a reality, the same process that the Kunsthalle Lissabon has followed during these years.

 

Quinze Anos de Amor na República dos Pangolins (Fifteen Years of Love at the Pangolin Republic) can be seen until December 14 at Kunsthalle Lissabon, José Sobral Cid, 9-E, Lisbon (Portugal).
