Join the Underdogs movement! Visit us now to explore exhibitions, public art projects, and exclusive artist editions that connect communities through creativity.
Established in 2010 and consolidated in its present form in 2013, Underdogs works with a diversified roster of Portuguese and international artists connected with the urban inspired contemporary art universe, fostering the development of close relationships between creators, the public, and the city with the aim of promoting art as an everyday experience.
‘The waking, the sleeping and all the nihilism in between’ is the first solo exhibition in Canada by Portuguese visual artist Wasted Rita.
Conceived as an intimate reflection, ‘The waking, the sleeping and all the nihilism in between’ sees Rita delve into the depths of her inner self in an attempt to exorcise her (often troubled) relationship with people and the surrounding world – from her pet hates to her creative shortcomings, from her fundamental disbelief to her permanent feeling of displacement, from the myriad anxieties that accompany her on her daily quest to understand and fit in with the world to her failed social and interrelationship skills, from her difficulty in dealing with success and expectations to her experience of double standards and gender inequality.
