Event hosted in a bilingual format - English & Portuguese
Rui Paiva was born in Mozambique, where he spent the first twenty years of his life; he grew up in Macau and Portugal, and, shaped by all these cultures, recounted his life story in the book Nuvem Branca, published in 2017.
Book written in a bilingual format - English and Portuguese.
In this book, the author presents his early works (texts and drawings), beginning with his childhood and adolescence, and explores his journey as an artist throughout his life.
This evening will be devoted to the first part of Rui’s life, spent in Mozambique. The captivating stories told by the artist will be accompanied by books, diaries, sketches and any other forms of artistic expression that offer a glimpse into the artist’s rich and fascinating life.
What can you expect from this event?
The evening will begin with Rui sharing his stories about the time he lived and grew up in Mozambique, drawing on books, authors, poets, music and magazines from that era as points of reference.
In the second part of the evening, we’d like to invite you to share your own stories, references and reflections relating to Mozambique. We’d like to create a space for creativity and connection to explore this magical theme of the evening — between life and art.
