‘Aerossol’, an exhibit by Joana da Conceição

'Aerossol' began from the song with the same name by Tropa Macaca (one of the longest running and most celebrated duos in Portuguese experimental music), a previously unreleased piece which is part of this exhibit. Like a hand casting forth the whelks, or a ghost travelling meters ahead of its own shape, the music lit the way for Joana da Conceição in preparing this exhibit, which brings together her work over the past three years. These are paintings with variable heights and widths, presented in a large composition with intellectually sensualist proportions and volumes, physically free, inspired by transience, erosion and creation, and animated by the companionship and the encounters which living beings share amongst themselves and with other things.
Opening: September 26th, 15h-20h
Open until October 17th, from 12h-17h

Organized by: OUT.RA – Associação Cultural

Partners: PADA / DG Artes

Joana Guerra

(This concert is part of the inauguration of the “A Cidade dos Arquivos”exhibit. )

Joana Guerra is a singer and cellist who has been threading a very interesting artistic path between improvisation and composition. Through the creation of loops, Guerra achieves an enchanting union between songwriting and electroacoustics which can be heard prominently in her 2016 solo album 'Cavalos Vapor'.

Her impressionistic and experimental songs are aligned by the hypnotic sounds of the cello combined with the dream-like call of her voice. In 2018, she released her third solo album, "Osso", with the French label Armures Provisoires.

She is one of the most widely active performers in the Lisbon scene, consistently presenting her work not only solo, but also in theatre (with the Companhia João Garcia Miguel), in dance (Madalena Victorino, Clara Andermatt) or in intense collaboration with some of the most relevant names in the Portuguese free improvisation world.

Saturday: Joana Guerra at PADA / July: Erwan Keravec at the Nossa Senhora do Rosário church

We're happy to announce two more concerts coming up soon in Barreiro: This Saturday (the 15th) the cellist, singer, composer and improviser Joana Guerra brightens up the inauguration of the Barreiro – City of Archives exhibit, happening at the Pada Studios in Baia do Tejo. Admission is free of charge, with the concert starting at 18:30.

July 18th marks an immensely special occasion, as it is the first time in history we host a concert at the beautiful Nossa Senhora do Rosário Church, in the very centre of the city. And what a concert! The Breton master of the Scottish bagpipes Erwan Keravec, who is making a stop in Barreiro on his way to the FMM Sines festival for a solo show which is likely to be remembered for years to come.

Meanwhile, don't forget about two other upcoming concerts: Luís Lopes, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Ingebrigt Haker-Flaten and Gabriel Ferrandini, on the 21st, and Sir Richard Bishop on July 4th. As usual, we accept reservations for either of these two shows at info@outra.pt..

See you soon!
