O Enterro do Galo (The Burial of the Rooster)

  • Finok

30 January – 28 February 2015

UNDERDOGS GALLERY
Rua Fernando Palha, Armazém 56 – Lisbon, Portugal

O Enterro do Galo (The Burial of the Rooster) is presented as an authorial reflection on the human need for understanding and belonging expressed through manifestations of belief, be they of a spiritual, religious or popular nature. Based on the expressive dimension of their visual representations, Finok explores here a universe of devotional and popular celebration practices of a syncretic quality, while also taking in the connections of origin and proximity between several elements of popular and traditional culture shared by Portugal and Brazil.

The exhibition will also be accompanied by the release of an exclusive, limited-edition piece and the production of a large-scale intervention in Lisbon – details to be announced soon.
