The global multidisciplinary Portuguese artist Grada Kilomba, with one foot in Lisbon and Berlin, presents the exhibition: “The Bottom of the World”, starting May 30th at the Albuquerque Foundation in Sintra. A collection of works by Kilomba never before shown in Portugal, which address the violence that is perpetuated: from slavery to colonialism, from multiple wars to climate crises, and current tragic genocides, in a dive into the reverse side of human ‘glory’, proposing a reflection through art. Listen to her in this first part of the podcast “The Beauty of Small Things”, by Bernardo Mendonça.
