Jorge Dias + Lino Damião Outras Coisas + Na Boca do Povo | Other Things + In the Mouth of the People

Synopsis

Jorge Dias and Lino Damião represent similar contexts in that they both witnessed the civil war that followed the independence of their countries. Although the former lives in Mozambique and the latter in Angola, their work offers a reading of the past and present imaginaries of their respective countries, each characterised by different individual expectations and collective aspirations.

Their production is marked by commonalities: on the one hand, a sense of hope, full of utopias; on the other, a surrender to the vicissitudes of a social life martyred by the empty promises of the various ideologies and regimes that have marked Angola and Mozambique in recent decades.
