The solo exhibition “The Day Tarrare Ate Che”, by Diogo “Gazella” Carvalho, opens on April 3, Thursday, at 6:00 pm, at the School of Arts of the Autonomous University of Lisbon, with free entry.

In this exhibition, which opens the annual programme of the School of Arts, the multidisciplinary artist seeks to reflect on the condition of artists from peripheral contexts and the inseparability forged (among others, by institutions) between the work produced and this same context as an act of subsistence. Based on an anthropophagic movement that digests and then regurgitates counter-culture into a cake, that is, into a homogeneous mass, “Gazella” raises the following issues: “When (our) place at the table depends on being the food served, is that access? […] Can someone from a peripheral context talk about issues that extend beyond marginalisation? Trauma?”

The exhibition “The Day Tarrare Ate Che”, by Diogo “Gazella” Carvalho, is part of the annual exhibition programme of the School of Arts of the Autonomous University of Lisbon. The programme aims to showcase works by emerging artists, promoting the most diverse languages and expressions of contemporary art, and simultaneously promoting the transfer of knowledge between the academic context, the professional sector and civil society.
