Africa-Press – Angola. An exhibition on the visual, political and affective layers that marked the period between 1960 and 1979 in Angola will be on display on the 22nd of this month at the Palácio de Ferro venue in Luanda.
According to a note, the exhibition, entitled “Angola 75 – The Graphic Expression of Independence”, was developed from the collection of prints by José Julião and Jeredh Santos, in partnership with the BA Foundation.
The exhibition, which will be open until May 29th, will propose an in-depth reading of the visual, political and affective layers that marked the period between 1960 and 1979, one of the most decisive in the contemporary history of Angola.
According to the document, the initiative results from archival research conducted by Tila Likunzi and João António Mérito, contributing to a clear and accessible approach to the presented content. It states that, based on a selection from a private collection, “Angola 75” proposes a documentary reading of the contribution of artists, writers, graphic designers, and publishers to the political and cultural debates of their time, highlighting culture as a space for reflection and intervention.
In this sense, it continues, the exhibition will have an educational visit plan, specially designed for schools, universities, and socio-cultural projects that work with young people.
The note underlines that the BAI Foundation, as an institutional partner of the exhibition, reaffirms with the project its commitment to the appreciation of culture, memory, and education as pillars of social development. “The program includes guided tours and mediation sessions that seek to stimulate dialogue between past and present, encouraging critical reading of visual languages and debate on identity, citizenship, and collective memory”, the note reads.
