Poster Carla Filipe, In My Own Language I am Independente
This poster shares the title of the exhibition on display at Serralves from March to September 2022, which is taken from an inscription by the artist herself in an image from her photographic archive and it mixes two languages — English and Portuguese — something very characteristic and recurring in her work. Without prejudices and with great freedom, Carla Filipe establishes a unique platform for creation and analysis of the political, economic, social, and cultural transformations of the past and present, through thought without geographical boundaries.
Carla Filipe (Vila Nova da Barquinha, Portugal, 1973) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice critically explores the relationship between art objects, culture and activism. Anchored in drawing, personal experiences and in the concept of autobiography as an experimental archive of contemporaneity, Filipe’s creative process is the outcome of appropriating artefacts and documents that build a singular form of social portrait and, simultaneously, self-portraiture.
