As part of the Open Day, Escola das Artes hosts an exhibition by Joana Patrão. Entitled “When Waves Are Mountains”, the exhibition brings together a set of images made between 2014 and 2021 and from various series by the artist. Such images were the basis of the artwork now presented by the school for the first year of activity. The exhibition opens on January 12th, at 3:00 pm.

Joana Patrão's work focuses on the study of landscape, thinking of it simultaneously as a symptom of the nature-culture conflict and a potential process of reunion. His practice fluctuates between video, drawing, photography and the use of natural processes and materials. Among its exhibitions, the following stand out: “A BRISE DO MAREMOTO” (2021), Appleton [BOX], Appleton – Associação Cultural, Lisbon; “Salt sky, salt of the earth” (2020), curated by Luísa Santos at Lab Box – Art Curator Grid, Lisbon; “Natural design. Water flows in the line.” (2019), Lugar do Draw – Fundação Júlio Resende, Gondomar and “Becoming: meditations” (2020), curated by Maria Eduarda Duarte as part of the online exhibition series 4 + 4 proposals for making sense of today's convivial cultures, 4Cs – From Conflict to Conviviality through Creativity and Culture.

Every year, Escola das Artes invites a visual artist and a sound artist to reformulate the institution's image, creating an exhibition space through its means of dissemination.

The exhibition will take place at the Escola das Artes facilities, in Campo de Ourique.
