Francisca Gigante: Não podemos estar fechados num mundo que é cheio de possibilidades
12 October 2020

Francisca Gigante holds many constellations inside. The curator has been crossing very bright spots in the universe of culture, such as the Peggy Guggenheim Collection in Venice, the MAAT in Lisbon and the Venice Biennale, for example. She is co-founder of the Tarimba collective and founder of the online platform "Friends In The Arts," which we talked about before the toast. "We are all connected in the world, by lines, and lines that maybe cross the whole world. It's a constellation. You find a star and go to a star that is closer. Maybe it's light years away, but you can find it."
