April 8th · 2:30PM
April 15th · 2:30PM
Reinata Sadimba, a recognized sculptor from Mozambique, is one of the world, a status she has achieved through persistent dedication to the clay, from which she brings forth: inimitable forms; enduring symbols; effusive hope.
April 19th · 2:30PM
Butcheca, the name that Moisés Ernesto Matsinhe Mafuiane signs his work with, is founded on criticism – through the way he probes the world, and aesthetics – evident in the intense recreation of that world through art.
April 23th · 2:30PM
Samuel Muankongue is a sculptor with tenderness in his eyes and determination in his hands: the former reflects the sympathies of the world, that is, the relationships between the exterior and the interior; the latter fix them in clay.
April 30th · 2:30PM
Mapfara certainly sculpts with his fingers in the Moon and his head in the Sea, such is his dreamlike capacity, endlessly metamorphosed through the matter that is another name for what he dreams.
May 7th · 2:30PM
Kheto Lualuali found an inevitable path and style as he journeyed through both African landscapes and the Northern European airs, from where he brought back what should be eminently guarded.
May 14th · 2:30PM
Lulu Maparangue is a painter whose created atmospheres generally acquire the quality of effulgence: through intense and luminous colours, multiform assemblages and the micro-stories he tells.
May 21th · 2:30PM
Simbraz is an artist with wide-open eyes that see what needs to be seen; and that closes them when it comes to feeling what needs to be felt with the immense power of kindness and justice.
June 11th · 2:30PM
On the day that marks Portugal Day, Nelo Teixeira, an artist with a diverse body of work, and Agostinho Santos, director of this “Onda Bienal”, come together creatively in a performance whose result and inevitable effects are naturally unpredictable.
June 25th · 2:30PM
Xesko has accumulated a rich journey when it comes to creation: in painting, serigraphy, drawing, literature, music, and theater. He juxtaposes freedom and rebelliousness against the so-called “art world,” which he sees as guarantees of the genetically defiant character that he recognizes in artists and claims for himself.
June 25th · 4PM
Featuring the following speakers:
(PhD) José Carlos Venâncio
(PhD) Filimone Meigos
(PhD) Jorge Gumbe

July 1st · 2:30PM
Nino Trindade defends feeling as the element that unites creation, with the artist as the recorder of experience, which requires surrender and the reflexivity resulting from awareness.
April 21th · 5PM
Exhibition by Reinata Sadimba and Samuel Muankongue
Reinata Sadimba and Samuel Muankongue, ultimately united by blood, were also destined to share a dizzying propensity for creating with clay, in an eventual predestination, however, made of unfathomable paths.
May 12th · 2:30PM
Exhibition by Mapfara
Mapfara believes that art is the very soul itself and sees the works only completed when they reach someone, when they are seen and embraced, as if it were a common music between: artist, artwork, viewer.
May 26th · 2:30PM
Exhibition by Kheto Lualuali
Kheto Lualuali presents himself to us as a painter, also undoubtedly of the human figure that he embodies through presence, portraying what he does with the impact of great mystery.
June 9th · 2:30PM
Exhibition by Lulu Maparangue
Lulu Maparangue, an eclectic painter, is a diffusionist in technique, skilled in drawing, and delicate in the symbolic universe: as if there were a golden pendulum within him, constantly calibrating what he portrays.
June 23th · 2:30PM
Exhibition by Simbraz
Simbraz is a multiform painter, who is equally devoted to the infinite reality as to the depths of all human nature, whose works, despite their vastness, are governed by a principle of darkness.
July 7th · 2:30PM
Exhibition by Nino Trindade
Nino Trindade “goes into nature” as if taking a walk by the seaside, picking up and grouping shells along the way, while at the same time looking at the bottom of the sea on one hand, and gazing at the horizon on the other.
