The exhibition brings together works by Camille Leon, Jorge Pereira, José Smith Vargas, Homem em Catharsis and Carlos Norton, the creators participating in the ongoing artistic residency.
«In front of an incredible setting of scenic, natural, historical and architectural heritage beauty, artists from various areas are locked inside the premises of the Farol to create artistic pieces inspired by their surroundings», explain the promoters of the initiative.
The starting point for the creation «is a letter written by Jacinto Lucas Pires addressed to artists in residence». The result is «several individual and collective pieces, in the areas of illustration, comics, cinema, music, photography, literature and visual arts», which «form a tribute to the inhospitable places at the end of the land, guardians of the land and sea, of the life and work of the people of the sea and the faroreaders'.
