The Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) and Wynn Resorts (Macau) have jointly organised the “Memories‧Legacies‧Mutations –Annual Arts Exhibition between China and the Portuguese-speaking Countries”, which was inaugurated at the Macao Museum of Art (MAM) on 25 October.
The museum is located in the Macao Cultural Centre (CCM) complex in Nape.
The exhibition is part of the “6th Encounter in Macao – Arts and Cultural Festival between China and the Portuguese-speaking Countries”.
The exhibition aims to promote in-depth exchanges and diversified dialogues between Chinese and Portuguese cultures through the visual arts, while demonstrating the unique charm of Macao’s multiculturalism and harmony, according to IC President Leong Wai Man.
The exhibition features over 20 artists from Macau, mainland China Portugal, Angola, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Equatorial Guinea, Mozambique, São Tomé and Príncipe, and East Timor.
Themed “Memories‧Legacies‧Mutations”, the exhibition presents a new contemporary art context formed by the cultural fusion through artworks that link the past, the present and the future, leading the public to reflect on the continuity and diversity of cultures. More than 130 pieces/sets of artworks are displayed at indoor exhibition venues, covering a wide range of genres including painting, videos and multimedia interactive installations.
In addition, renowned street artist Eduardo Kobra from Brazil was invited to create a public artwork live at Rua da Felicidade. His works adapt easily to local cultural connotations by using bright colours and bold lines in an eminently personal style.
The “Memories‧Legacies‧Mutations – Annual Arts Exhibition between China and the Portuguese-speaking Countries” is held from 25 October 2024 to 9 February 2025, at the Macao Museum of Art and the Exhibitions Gallery of the Taipa Houses, and is open from Tuesdays to Sundays, from 10am to 7pm, including on public holidays. Admission is free.
In addition, the public art work will be exhibited at Rua da Felicidade from January 2025.
