Exhibition visit with Nuno Andrade – Winner of the NARRATIVA – FUJIFILM Award

PicNic, by Nuno Andrade, presents the winning work of the NARRATIVA – FUJIFILM Award and transforms a peripheral and seemingly marginal territory into a space of revelation and belonging. At Ponta dos Corvos, between the estuary and the city, the author finds a point of symbolic convergence where gestures of freedom, coexistence and collective celebration are reflected.

The guided tour with the author takes place on the final day of the exhibition.
