Location
Lower Gallery Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation Main Gallery Calouste Gulbenkian FoundationCurated by José Miguel Wisnik, Milena Britto and Guilherme Wisnik, the exhibition is not conceived as a simple display of objects, but as a journey of experiences that intends to dissolve stereotypes and open up new perspectives of understanding.
Projected by Daniela Thomas, the exhibition takes over the two galeries in the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation’s Main Building, and is accompanied by a programme of activities (tba) and a publication, which amplifies the investigation led by the curatorial team.
