Cape Town Art Fair 2020

Please join Everard Read and Everard Read's CIRCA Gallery in booth A9 of the Main Section & booth A11 of the Solo Section at the Investec Cape Town Art Fair held at the CTICC from the 14th - 16th February 2020.

Teresa Firmino will be having a solo presentation at booth A11 and exhibiting a selection of works entitled Black Melancholy / Negotiating Trauma.⁠
⁠
This exhibition explores the ways in which Firmino negotiates trauma both personally and collectively in her everyday life. The paintings are constructed scenes of the past and present, which are sometimes intertwined. Firmino collects images from magazines, newspapers, historical documents as well as social media and places them in colourful, box-like stages. This creates surreal, baroque scenes which take place in tightly-confined interiors, where the characters have the opportunity to re-enact their stories or construct new ones. This process allows Firmino to create alternative past, present and future narratives of Africa, thus rebuilding her own archive of African history. ⁠
