EXHIBITIONS

For those of us …
…who live at the shoreline
standing upon the constant edges of decision crucial and alone…
– humor negro –
…who cannot indulge
the passing dreams of choice
– manchê bom –
…who love in doorways coming and going
– voltar para a minha terra –

Por quanto tempo mais terei de nadar este deserto?
onde posso imagino horizontes,
invento ilhas onde dormir
e corpos com quem flutuar.

Por quanto tempo mais terei de nadar? — Uma litania pela sobrevivência [How much longer will I have to swim? — A litany for survival], a solo exhibition by Sara Fonseca da Graça – Petra Preta, whispers time-space as a suspension, a breakage. It demands rest, lightness, pleasure.
Black bodies floating against a deep blue background. Living Black bodies that float, plunge, breathe and laugh.
