Being part of the 13th edition of the EDP Foundation New Artists Award, Circular do Sul (South Circular) is a research, photography and video project that builds a narrative around the former Lisbon Military Road and reflects urbanism, immigration and decolonization processes.
The video develops a narrative between reality and fiction as a journey that traces, like an archaeological search, the landscape of the former Military Road of Lisbon. Built around the city in the 19th century, it rescues the memories of fragile and lost places in the peripheries of contemporary Lisbon.
This work was produced from a collaboration with social associations, residents of these neighborhoods , friends and family, artists and in collaboration with Teatro Griot and Sound design Soundslikenuno (Chullage).

26 SEPTEMBER 2018 / 10 NOVEMBER 2018
Individual exhibition curated by Cristiana Tejo
Tomorrow is another day is an expression that points from a present place to the future looking at the memories and the inheritances of the past, noticing the failures and absences of history and politics and pointing to a hopeful tomorrow, founded in re-imagination. The title of the exhibition also refers to the desire to make architecture that breaks canons in the post-independence moment on the African continent where architecture acquired the ability to awaken utopias and also implied a commitment to democracy, social freedom, producing places of inestimable value. It is, therefore, an attempt to reflect on the reconciliation between what already exists and what has never been and which may one day be something different, between the old and the new, between memory, history and dystopia and ideological utopia.
