ARCHIPELAGO (Kunsthalle Bratislava)

The exhibition shows a result of two years research, workshops and community artworks in Cova da Moura neighborhood in Lisbon and Tras di Munti village in Cabo Verde. These geographically distant locations are connected through same culture, through movement of people, through stories.
