TWO OPENINGS
Irineu Destourelles (Santo Antão, Cape Verde, 1974) works primarily with video, writing and drawing, focusing on contradictory narratives related to post-colonial identity. «A Batida Que Faz-te Sujo» includes a video that was present in his most recent exhibition at the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum and other works that emerge in response to space and the need to create space. In the six rooms of the building on Rua Castro Matoso, there are works thematically related to the psychological condition of the individual in the post-colonial era, which, however, are built according to different strategies and address identity in the face of collective memory, the body and the written as de-regulatory elements.

The exhibition «TAPE 2018–2019 / Beyond the cloister» continues the collaboration between CAPC and the Department of Architecture of the University of Coimbra (DARQ).
