PLMJ Foundation presents, from 10th October to 8th December, in Lisbon, the exhibition "Other Things" by Jorge Días. In this exhibition, the Mozambican artist uses shapes with symbolic meaning to convey issues of existentiality. The artist examines the mythology and iconography of Mozambique in sculptures made of "poor" materials and everyday objects like "capulanas" - the colorful fabrics typical of Africa. Simultaneously, PLMJ Foundation presents the exhibition "In the Mouth of the People" by Lino Damião, from Angola, which explores the imaginary past and present experiences of his country.
These exhibitions are part of the OFF programme of the PLMJ Foundation gallery, curated by Miguel Amado, and form part of the series of activities organised by the PLMJ Foundation dedicated to artists from Portuguese speaking African countries (PALOP). These exhibitions bring together works of art that give an overview of the more recent works of the artists and their themes. A catalogue accompanying the exhibition is available which includes an introduction by the curator.
