Forma Primeira, by Francisco Pedro Oliveira, curated by Isabeli Santiago, opens this Saturday on Floor -1 of Galeria Municipal do Porto.

Within the installation, various creative elements intertwine to reveal the artist’s ecosystem of interests, where Portuguese ethnography, apotropaic phenomena, vernacular knowledge, and a syncretic vision of spirituality converge.

Other events related to the exhibition are planned, including a guided tour of the exhibition and the artist's studio with Francisco Pedro Oliveira and curator Isabeli Santiago on April 5, and an Active Listening session with João Sarmento from Fonoteca Municipal do Porto on April 12.

Francisco Pedro Oliveira is currently in the second year of his Master’s in New Media Art at Escola das Artes.

On Saturday, at the same time as the opening of Forma Primeira, the second inauguration moment of Profundidade de Campo, by Mónica de Miranda, will also take place at Galeria Municipal do Porto.
