The exhibition features several works where storytelling is used as a way to explore the ‘south’ as an economical and political fictional landscape, with text, documents and images addressing issues of dislocation and fragmentation of memory. Patrícia Pinheiro de Sousa works with sound, performance, installation, text and artists’ books. Her work reflects an interest in collective memory mediated according to different political and historical moments. Her work has been presented amongst others at Fundación Marcelino Botín, Culturgest and TENT Rotterdam.
