Walking as contemplation, discovery, meditation.
Understanding the world through the trails that run through it.
"Placeless place", where personal and universal merge.

A visual artist, Rita GV works in the field of drawing and three-dimensionality and her work has been questioning relationships between private memory and the collective commons of inhabited places, highlighting relationships between everyday practices and artistic procedures that these practices constitute in her work, when considering the creative difference achieved in view of the expectations with which the actions are performed. In all of these practices, the use of water is crucial, namely in the production of handmade cotton paper which, in her work, is the genesis of the design and installations.

Guest artist Vasco Barata in conversation with curator João Silvério
October 22nd, at 6.30 pm

"The importance that images represent in the creative universe of this artist is recognised, but it is also undeniable that this universe distends itself in a myriad of formulations from these images as symbols of a fragmented culture, wild if we like, voracious and savage in the way it leads us, under the guise of these symbols and referents, to a permanent crossroads that unfolds in multiple and anachronistic spaces."
João Silvério. November 2016
Guest artist Alexandre Baptista in conversation with curator João Silvério
September 4th, at 6.30 pm
Free entry
“Alexandre Baptista's work is based on compositions that bring together paintings, texts and images from different origins, articulated in the search for a new entity. In these works, the artist appropriates writings and old black and white photographs to, with the introduction of painting, problematize a (re)construction of meaning, equating the notion of coexistence, individuality and series.”

Guest artist Pedro Gomes in conversation with curator João Silvério

Free entry
"Showing coherence, rigour and dedication, the themes approached are recurrent: space, time, solitude. And Pedro Gomes’ Midas touch is nothing less than the ability to show us more, to go beyond the banality of the everyday, the imagistic source of which is used to create, in a kind of anti-ready-made."

Guest artist Pedro Vaz in conversation with curator João Silvério
28 de Junho às 18h30
Free entry
“At first glance, the exuberance of the landscapes represented by the artist Pedro Vaz infects our soul, the harmony of the forms, the capture of light and the chromatic calm awaken in us a feeling of empathy. We know this place, it is dear to us, precious and pristine. A closer look at the set of shapes, we move away from the first, elementary questions that evoke nature, to enter a field of transition, of approximation. Pedro Vaz is part of a group of artists that has been systematically exploring the approximation between nature and culture to make possible different sensibilities from those generated from the colonization of natural spaces.”

Guest artist Luís Silveirinha in conversation with curator João Silvério
May 18th, 6.30 pm
Free entry
“… Luís Silveirinha invents figures, universes, beings; his drawing does not come from photographic images or from other arts. It is not an appropriation or a reproduction, but a fabulation instigated by visual memories and mental images, which, on the surface, lets see - and in this there is a generosity which is indifferent to the “need” of any teleological direction (of art) - motifs, contours, things, landscapes, relationships. ”
José Marmeleira, in Jornal Público, 2019.
Guest artist Davide Canali presents at RAMA the project "I Denti della Terra", developed jointly with artist HElena Valsecchi developed in the framework of an art creation residency in Portugal West Coast.
His work is developed in line with the desire to deepen human nature and to understand its fragility and contradictions, a need that led him to articulate his varied artistic skills, which include video, photography, sculpture and installation, in numerous projects developed nationally and internationally.

"In art, theory is of little use to me without practice. That is why poetic thinking makes more sense than rational thinking. Doing, touching, sharing, interacting, collaborating, creating, is much better than locking myself in drawers that the other may need to understand me. "

Excerpt from the text of exhibition “Um momento que se repete continuamente”, 2018
