Open Class with Hélio Menezes | School of Arts

As part of the exhibition "Não foi Cabral: revendo silêncios e omissões" the School of Arts of the Universidade Católica Portuguesa is organizing an Open Class with Hélio Menezes on may 29 at 18:30.

The exhibition will run from February 15 to May 29 and is curated by Lilia Schwarcz and Nuno Crespo.

The annual program of conferences, concerts, exhibitions and performances returns to the School of the Arts in spring 2024. Each year, this program is aligned around an emerging theme in our contemporary world. If, in previous years, our attention has been focused on how it is possible to learn to "tread softly on the earth" (Ailton Krenak), on the relationship between "Art / Thought / Sound" or on exploring the multiplicity of intersections and contaminations between "Art and Science", in 2024 it will be reflection on the omissions and silences that histories maintain that will take center stage.
