Heritages in transit: Porto de Mós exposes colonial memory

An exhibition titled "Patrimónios em trânsito" opens on Sunday at the Central das Artes in Porto de Mós, focusing on migration heritage among Cape Verde, Portugal, and São Tomé and Príncipe. The project began in September with an artistic residency involving various artists and potters, exploring the intersection of ancestral knowledge and contemporary art. Curator Ricardo Barbosa Vicente highlighted the collaboration between artists and local craftsmen, emphasizing the transformation of local materials through diverse perspectives. The exhibition features works from artists like Eduardo Malé and Ana Marta Clemente, addressing themes of colonial memory and cultural transition. It will be open until January 31, 2027, as part of the upcoming Biennial of São Tomé and Príncipe.
