METAMORPHOSIS
ERITAGE ART PROJECTS [Lisboa, Portugal] | curadoria de João Marcus Cavalcanti
Welcome to "Metamorphosis," an exploration of transformation that transcends the boundaries of time, culture and individuality. This exhibition unites the works of seven artists from around the globe under the common thread of textiles.
As we embark on this immersive journey, we invite you to transcend the familiar, open your mind to the unknown and embrace the evolution of consciousness that lies at the core of the invisible aspects of a social history woven into the daily life of our society. "Metamorphosis" is more than just an exhibition; it is an opportunity to connect with the profound universal energy that binds us all.
Change is the only constant. It occurs at the intersection of contrasting elements where the known and unknown converge, giving birth to unique qualities and transforming the initial components into diverse, novel entities.
Textiles possess a remarkable ability to function as visual language, allowing us to navigate the intricate tapestry of human subjectivity. Just as words convey stories, textiles convey emotions, experiences and the complexities of our inner worlds. They are not mere fabrics but intricately woven narratives.
We confront the enduring impact of colonization and globalization through the lens of textiles, "Metamorphosis" challenges us to unravel the complex legacy of these historical forces. Just as textiles adapt to shifting circumstances we can reimagine our role in shaping a sustainable and harmonious future.
Within the diverse fabrics representing cultures and societies from Europe to the islands of Africa, South and North America, we immerse ourselves in the uninterrupted fabric of the universe.
Through the creations of these seven artists—David Shillinglaw, Expanded Eye, Joana Gomes, Kwame Sousa, Lauren dela Roche, Lisette Van Hoogenhuyze, and Thiago Molon—you will witness the sophisticated interplay between individual and collective consciousness. Each artist's work encapsulates the spirit of our transformative age urging us to examine the multifaceted threads that shape our existence.
Their creations compel us to peer beyond the surface, to journey deep into our being. As you traverse "Metamorphosis" let the textiles guide you, much like the celestial navigation of ancient mariners—a voyage of self-discovery, connection and transformation. We invite you to become an integral part of this ever-evolving narrative where change is not a choice but a magnificent constant.
