Depth of Field: Migro, logo existo - Interstícios Do Não-ser, by Marinho Pina
In "Migro, logo existo: Interstícios do Não-Ser" [I migrate, therefore I exist: interstices of non-being], Marinho Pina questions the struggle for private property - physical, cultural, ideological and/or identity - that makes us forget to look at the 'interstices of non-being', the non-place where universes of possibilities and opportunities reside to break down barriers, whether visible or invisible, and reinvent what it means to be human.
"Migro, logo existo: Interstícios do Não-Ser" is part of the programme of activations for the installation "Timelapse", part of the exhibition "Depth of Field" by Mónica de Miranda.Venue: GMP, Floor 1
Admission is free.

Primal Form: Performance-Concert by Amuleto Apotropaico
Amuleto Apotropaico, a musical project by Francisco Pedro Oliveira (guitar and electronics) and António Feiteira (percussion), revolves around oracular rituals that lead along incomprehensible paths of vertigo and delirium, concentric only in a deliberate spirituality. By reinterpreting folkloric motifs, the duo focuses on the idea of collective memory.Venue: Capela Carlos Alberto, Jardins do Palácio de Cristal
