Based on conversations between Helena Mendes Pereira and João Ribas, the exhibition "PERSPECTIVA 24" marks the 50th anniversary of the important "Perspectiva 74" cycle and addresses the principle of Freedom and the perspective of art, artists, and cultural agents in 2024, 50 years after the April 25th Revolution in Portugal. A selection of 50 artists were presented, representing the same number of years between 1974 and 2024, all born in the context of Freedom, proposing a dialogue of metalanguages and hypotheses between authors who share the country's space and time with the aim of drawing a portrait of the national creative fabric in the field of plastic and visual arts.
Bunga showcased “Moving Wall”: “like dancers who choreograph space, dividing it in a transitory way; they are physical and psychological walls that delimit relational spaces; they are borders that separate worlds, but embody the possibility to change them, transform them and create new ones; they are an invitation to rethink domestic space and our ways of inhabiting it by bringing us closer to nature; they are hybrids between painting and sculpture, architecture and furniture, the natural and the domestic, the internal and the external, the static and the dynamic.”
