The Regional Directorate for Culture, through Arquipélago - Contemporary Arts Centre, will open the "Weather Station" exhibition, curated by Sérgio Mah, on July 12 at 6:30 PM.
This exhibition features photography and video works by Sandra Rocha, a native of Angra do Heroísmo, and Manuela Marques; both currently reside and work in Paris.
The event was organised after an invitation made to the artists by the Regional Directorate for Culture, through Arquipélago - Contemporary Arts Centre, for the development of a project that departed from the Azores, which has been developed over the last two years.
In July, Arquipélago is hosting events under its partnership with the Walk&Talk - Arts Festival; admission is free but subject to seating capacity.
On 7 July, "East Atlantic" will premiere at 7 PM, a joint creation of filmmaker Miguel C. Tavares and musician José Alberto Gomes.
This show, in film-concert format, features a strong performance-based component and portrays themes related to the Azorean archipelago.
On July 18, the Contemporary Arts Centre hosts the performance of António Branco&Riccardo T titled "Burning Pricks" at 9:30 PM. It aims to break with the traditional show concept by removing the barrier between performers and the audience.
From July 19 to 24, Arquipélago hosts the "Body-Buildings" crew, a fictional documentary by Henrique Pina that intended to reconcile the interrelations in the fields of architecture, dance and cinema.
This documentary depicts six Portuguese architecture works, among them the Arquipélago - Contemporary Arts Centre in Ribeira Grande.
