The nomadic exhibition series “Breaking Boundaries” finds its third space at the old theater at Castiglione dei Pepoli. A beautiful venue that hosts a special exhibition set-up à la Dogville.
9th – 30th of April at Officina15 Castiglione dei Pepoli, close to wonderful Bologna
This year was a special year. I am very grateful to have received the Scholarship of Visual Art of the City of Munich. Unfortunately I couldn’t be part of the beautiful award ceremony in November, so the wonderful Yvonne Leinfelder created a little documentary about my work (soon to be uploaded here). That’s how in the end I could send some words from Mozambique to Munich! I was more than happy that my mom would receive the prize for me and have a wild night with her girls crew at the new Gasteig HP8 space in Munich! Thanks the the city!
I’m a little excited to be part of this year’s World of Art – Online Auction. My record “Planet Earth Symphony” with an edition of only 5 copies will be auctioned (call number 24). It contains the sound history of our earth compressed into 16 minutes and is a real listening pleasure. I composed it together with the astrophysicist and metal head Dr. Ferdinand Hitzler.
With performative interludes by the Residenztheater actress Pauline Fusban and the director Jakob Roth, the evening is sure to be a great pleasure!
So enthusiastic about the upcoming exhibition “See you, Tomorrow” at A.TOPOS in Venice.
27.09. – 9.10.2021 Opening 27.09.2021, 18-21h
I will open the exhibition with a “Planting Performance” on the 27.09. also watch my video “Sleeping Seeds”
Big thank you to the curatorial team Fernanda Andrade and Lucia Trevisan.

See you, Tomorrow and Camera Oscura.
a.topos Venice, for this third and last encounter of the first edition of the open call THE CREATIVE ROOM, brings together the exhibitions “See you, Tomorrow” and “Camera Oscura”. The artists involved are: Mario Afonso, Nikolaos Akritidis, Elodie Barattucci, Laura Binaghi, Cecilia Brugnoli, Arthur Cadre, Calembour, Savina Capeci, Melanie Cravero, Aurora Destro, Damiano Fasso, Aldana Ferreyra, Francesco Fossati, Alexandra Freye, Sara Fruner, Anne Solange Gaulier, Noel Hensey, Michalina W. Klasik, Alessandro di Leo, Fabrizio Narcisi, Hermano Noronha, Paolo Panzacchi, Samantha Passaniti, Alina Petre, Jake Scharbach, Alessandro Secondin, Mattia Sugamiele, Ana Luiza Torres, Janina Totzauer, Pengpeng Wang, Anne-Lise Weinberger, Beatrice Zagato, Jagoda Zwiernik. See you, tomorrow unfolds a curatorial narrative in which Art is used as an activism tool to address major issues highlighted by the pandemic, such as the environmental crisis, domestic abuse and consumerism. Based on different media, the selected artworks are powerful responses to social, political and economical problems, advocating on the possibility – and urgency – of a better tomorrow, as well as inviting visitors to individually take action in disclosing and preventing the exposed matters. Camera Oscura gathers artists that capture how themselves or others were coping with isolation and restrictions through the lens of a camera. The focus on photography does not imply a flat, monocorde tone though. On the contrary, it is a revealing set of plural approaches, interests, points of views and interpretations. The quick register allowed by the camera is trespassed by multiple subjectivities that overcome any attempt of mimetic gestures and the fallacy of neutrality.
On the occasion of the exhibition DEBUTANT*INNEN 2021, I am delighted to be able to present my first artist’s catalogue “A Speck of Dust – A book about a speck of dust called Earth” with my work from the last five years. I look back sentimentally at how much work, reflection on my own artistic approach and emotion went into this book.
At this point, I would like to thank Rosanna Marie Pondorf in particular for curating the catalogue and for her mental support.
I would like to thank Veronika Christina Dräxler for the stimulating on-point interview, which isn’t afraid of uneasy topics and which you can find in the middle section of the catalogue.
Big thanks to Magdalena Jooss for her brilliant photographic skills.
Thanks to Matthew Bremner for gruelling hours of translation into English with a collapsing laptop.
Thank you Hubert Kretschmer and icon Verlag Munich for your trust.
Thank you Matthieu Chladekfor support and networking.
And last but not least, thank you from the bottom of my heart to the lfa Förderbank, the BBK Munich and Upper Bavaria, the Steiner Foundation and the Munich Department of Culture, all of whom provide constant support and encouragement.
