The exhibition “Atlantic – Journey to the center of the earth” is the artist first solo exhibition at Gallery Sabrina Amrani. Through the title we can infer two apparently contradictory planes, the first being the word that determines an immense and mutant geographic mass that is the Atlantic Ocean; and the second is the Journey to the Center of the Earth, a reference to Julius Verne’s utopian work that is close to her. However, the placement of the hyphen amplifies this transitory possibility which, although present in her work, is an aggregating element that expresses the multiplicity of senses in the reception of the same by the viewer, having as a structuring line the reference to two substances: water and earth which are opposed in their constitution. The second reason that leads her to this brief reflection is the duality between the ocean and the earth, a physical but simultaneously immaterial differentiation, an imaginary that goes back to the beginnings of humanity, and for this same reason metaphysic: between fluidity and solidity.

Ephemeral Landscapes I LISBON
A Delicate Zone of Commitment [exhibition]
Opening: 10th December, 06:00 pm
10th December’15 – 20th January’16
The exhibition is designed through a long voyage: from Southern Africa to Brazil, from Angola’s post‐independence to the author’s interior exile, from the desert to the sea, from his obsessions to his hesitations, from family commitments to a demanding loneliness, from the long war to the analysis of its implications, from Carvalho’s detailed field diaries to the game of mirrors between observer and observed. The exhibition also features contributions by the artists António Ole, Délio Jasse, Kiluanji Kia Henda, Mónica de Miranda and Robert Kramer, among others.
