2025/01/01 - Current | Ecoar: Onde as línguas viajam, visitam-se e conversam.
É um evento cultural que pretende refletir sobre a relação entre a língua oficial e as línguas ou dialetos tradicionais nos
territórios das ex-colónias. Na sua 1a edição será estabelecida uma ponte entre Angola e Portugal, levantando a questão de
como a língua portuguesa influenciou a cultura angolana, e como as línguas tradicionais deste país, nomeadamente o kimbundu
e umbundo, estão a ser ou podem ser preservadas.
Com Apoio da DGARTES. (2025/11/08 - 2025/11/11)

virtual exhibitions that brought together young Angolan architects and national artists, with the architects designing exhibition
spaces to house the work of the guest artist. The exhibitions were free to access. (2020)

2022 - 2022 | Exhibition ‘O Banco e Bancada’ (The Bench and Bench) and short film ‘Oku tumala oku tekula’: this project was presented by Banga Colectivo at the 13th São Paulo Architecture Biennial. This investigative experiment focuses on the craft markets and street artists scattered throughout Luanda, Angola, where, as in other Angolan urban centres, the informal economy is a structuring factor in the organisation of economic and social life. Aware of this panorama of informal market sales, this project focused on street artists. | 13ª Bienal Internacional de Arquitetura de São Paulo
