On March 2nd, the Casa Fernando Pessoa will host the opening of the temporary exhibition Almada and Pessoa – Conversation between libraries.
The libraries of artists and writers reveal the circuit of relationships that are made and broken throughout their lives, their friendships and their intellectual interlocutors. The books that writers and artists read, underline, comment on, illustrate, edit, give and receive as gifts are part, source or extension of their work.
Almada Negreiros and Fernando Pessoa met in 1913, and in 1915 Almada was one of the contributors to the magazine Orpheu, created by Fernando Pessoa and Mário de Sá-Carneiro, and considered to be the inaugural moment of the literary and artistic avant-garde in Portugal.
This exhibition shows a selection of the books that belonged to Almada Negreiros, placed in dialogue with those of Fernando Pessoa, taking into account the complicity they shared, and their friendships and projects in common.
The exhibition will be inaugurated by curators Giorgia Casara, Mariana Pinto dos Santos and Teresa Monteiro. The exhibition will be on display until September 8, 2024.
