In an expansive exploration of collective memory, GONÇALO MABUNDA plunges into the depths of
Mozambique's turbulent past. Thus, from his anthropomorphic sculpture “The Man in Yellowish Blue”,
conceived from the debris of a brutal civil war that devastated his country relentlessly for over a decade,
emerges a moving allegory in which the artist skillfully weaves threads of history and personal
metamorphosis and a powerful testimony to the resilience of the human spirit.
