The Solar - Cinematic Art Gallery presents, from 15th January 2011, its new collective exhibition. Entitled "Em Casa / At Home”, this show includes seven original projects designed by a group of authors from different areas of creation: Pedro Bandeira (architect), valter hugo mãe (writer); Rui Xavier (photographer and director), R2 - Artur Rebelo and Liza Ramalho (designers), Júlio Dolbeth and Rui Vitorino Santos (illustrators); André Cepeda (photographer), and Daniel Barroca (artist). Therefore, the exhibition will develop from a set of diverse but thematically articulated parts from the points of view of architecture, design, film, photography and the visual arts.

The principle of this exhibition is to look for different artistic expressions in order to understand what it is today to be "at home”. Excluding any chance of voyeuristic curiosity, the main objective focuses on the reformulation of spaces as leitmotif for the endless possibilities for reinterpretation of environments conducive to creative activity in diverse areas, from workshops to small domestic offices. Moreover, "At Home" is a proposal to reflect on the achievements of many years' experience in a society where knowledge is increasingly more easily shareable.
