Exhibition - Angústia Silenciosa by Steven Cruz
Discover the work of national and international contemporary photographers in an extraordinary setting: on the walls of houses, in flowering gardens and along the narrow streets. Various photographic installations throughout the city of Clervaux transform it into an open-air gallery.
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
In the heart of Lisbon, a neighbourhood steeped in history and emotion was relegated to the shadows of its own existence during the reconstruction of 2001, losing its soul to urbanisation. Once a place of solidarity, social life and shared stories, the relocation inflicted a deep wound on the residents and robbed them of their former community. Today, the ‘bairro da Curraleira’ still exists, but it has lost its voice and its vitality. The residents are fighting to preserve their memories. A series of photographs captures the current uncertainty and resilience of those who dream of finding their lost community again. Sometimes they feel like weeds, unwanted and neglected in a city that is constantly changing. This series echoes these challenges, reflecting the writings on the walls of the neighbourhood, the fragility of the buildings, the anonymity of the residents and the signs of damp. It serves as a poignant reminder of the vulnerability of communities to urban development and the importance of preserving collective memory, even in the ruins of the past.
