Galeria da Estação is pleased to invite you to the opening of our first exhibition of 2023, Do Teu Ombro Vejo o Mundo by João Silva.
"Aliu Baio was born blind in one eye in 1994 in Guinea Bissau.
At the age of four, he was in the south of the country with his brothers and grandparents when a civil war broke out in Bissau.
On a typical day, he was playing with his brothers and sisters on the usual road when military vehicles and soldiers heckled the local population. Frightened, he fled with his friends and brothers to a cashew plantation field where he accidentally injured the eye that allowed him to see."
The exhibition will be open January 13th - February 25th, Tuesday to Saturday 14h-19h.
