THIS IS NOT A WHITE CUBE presents a project connecting unreleased artworks by 4 contemporary artists from Angola, São Tomé e Príncipe and its diaspora, which practice has consisted over the years on research and project development around the notion of memory and identity, tradition and contemporaneity: Alida Rodrigues, Januario Jano, Nelo Teixeira and René Tavares.
Through this project, the gallery aims to generate a dialogue between countries with a Portuguese language background and colonial and historic affinities which reflects on the concept of decoloniality and seeks to promote a reflection on how contemporary African art has been affirming itself on a global scale.
