Nadir Afonso. Entre o local e o global is guided by a text written by Nadir Afonso in 2007 to the Jornal de Letras, Artes e Ideias , entitled ‘Local and Global,’ which was the starting point for a more wide-ranging programme that includes other exhibitions, conferences, workshops, visits and meetings relating to the artist’s work.
