Drawing and illustration, usually seen as a ‘minor art’, have also its place for exposure in town. We´re talking about Dama Aflita, a pioneer project in this area that appears as more than a normal art gallery, an extension of the cultural association with the same name that promotes illustration and its creatives.
In a small space of exposure, that doesn’t pretend to break apart Miguel Bombarda circuit, but present it self as unpretentious and alternative to the usual art market, there is a focus on design, on promoting drawing and illustration itself as well as its authors, on achieving complementarity with other areas, on the realization of events, workshops, regular publications, urban interventions, and others.

Work in Progress: 365 Days Out of a Lifetime
Será possível, por fragmentação e (des)ocultação, iludir a fronteira entre privado e público?
Num quase obsessivo exercício de arquivo, estas imagens são criadas aglutinando fragmentos representativos de um qualquer quotidiano. Os elementos utilizados para compor as imagens representam aquilo que de mais privado e de mais importante aconteceu em cada um desses dias.
Ao expor estas imagens, tornar-se-ia público algo que antes fora exclusivamente privado. Como reagir contra esta desocultação? Encriptando a mensagem.

Is it possible, by fragmentation and (des)occultation, to elude the frontier between private and public?
In an almost obsessive archiving exercise, these images are created joining representative fragments of a daily life. The elements used to compose these images represent that of most private and moving happened in each day.
Showing these images would make public what before was exclusively private. How to react to this revelation? Encrypting the message.
