This exhibition features works by artist Alice Geirinhas, including her 2004 painting 'Alice, Camila, Clara'. The presentation explores themes of domestic space, care, and the reflection of global conflicts within the contemporary world.
Part of the 2026 edition of the Anozero – Coimbra Biennial, titled 'Holding, Giving, Receiving', this exhibition centers on Alice Geirinhas's artistic practice and her series of paintings inspired by Susan Sontag’s 'Regarding the Pain of Others'. Through the painting 'Alice, Camila, Clara', the exhibition investigates the concept of the home as both a physical and imagined space, using the body as a vessel for care, connection, and ancestral choreography. The display invites visitors to contemplate the interplay between individual domesticity and the broader, often belligerent, state of the world. By juxtaposing personal maternal portraits with deeper historical and social critiques, Geirinhas explores the potential for art to serve as a space of metamorphism and reflection on human relationships and contemporary reality.
The exhibition is hosted at Café Santa Cruz and is open to the public during the cafe's regular operating hours, from Monday to Saturday, 8:00 AM to 12:00 AM, and Sunday from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM. No specific exhibition-only tickets are required for entry to this venue context as presented on the page.
