Exhibition Details

Este quarto parece uma República! [This Bedroom Looks Like a Republic!] marks the first museum exhibition of interdisciplinary artist Sandra Poulson (Angolan, b. 1995). Featuring an installation of new assemblage works, the exhibition includes sculptures made from furniture and garments, reflecting on the abstraction of nation-building within the domestic sphere.

Seen together, her works shed new light on the transnational circulation of images and material culture in the wake of the Angolan Civil War.

Additional Details

Poulson’s works draw on daily life and customs in her hometown Luanda, examining how intimate spaces become arenas for political consciousness. Her work challenges the manners in which ideological symbols circulate anew, detached from their original social and historical contexts once commodified.
