PROSE BELA + 10

This meeting initiates a series with curators, producers and artists to archive histories of the Galpao Bela Mare over the past 10 years, with a focus on artistic production. We seek to align and activate memories while operating in the dynamics of the present, as well as expanding on future perspectives for this space.
