Opening of the exhibition Beneath and Above

Beneath and above. Paintings by Brahona Possollo at the Roman Theatre is the new exhibition at the Museum of Lisbon  - Roman Theatre. A new world inaugurated in this space, a world of gods and myths, that have accompanied us, indelibly, throughout the centuries. 

These are gods between the divine and the human, between the sinful and the celestial, the beautiful and the evil. Contrarieties that always accompany us because we too are made of dust.
