Engawa Space and Nave Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian South Garden Gulbenkian GardenInspired by the event 1000011th Anniversary of Art on 17 January 1973, organised by Ernesto de Sousa in collaboration with the Círculo de Artes Plásticas de Coimbra, and based on an idea by Robert Filliou from 1963, we will celebrate art and life.
On this day, we will have unexpected encounters, listen to music and readings, and share a hot cocoa. Carlos Bunga also invites former dancers from the Gulbenkian Ballet to return to the institution to respond, through movement, to his installation ‘Forest’.
The exhibition ‘Carlos Bunga. Inhabiting the Contradiction’ will be free to visit from 14:00 onwards.
