Collective Exhibition Timor 20+
Hasoru-malu - Collective exhibition Timor 20+ brings together works by some of the foremost active Timorese visual artists to present an overview of contemporary art in Timor-Leste, and their vision - of society, culture, identity; past, present, and future - when the country reaches 20 years.
There are more than 50 works by 15 artists of different generations, styles, and languages, including painting, drawing, video art, installation, and photography, selected by the curatorship of Maria Madeira, one of the most celebrated Timorese contemporary visual artists.
Hasoru-malu, in Tetun, means to meet, while soru is ‘weave’, soru-malu meaning ‘to connect’, ‘interlace’. To the participant artists, some of whom are deeply involved in the organization of the event, this an opportunity to come together and (re)unite, joining efforts to contribute to the development of the creative industry in their country, positioning Timor-Leste’s contemporary art within the international arts scene, while opening path - nationally and internationally - to young, emerging artists, who may bring their artworks to show at the exhibition’s dynamic wall, refreshed every week.
Organized by Fundação Oriente, with the support of several partners and the patronage of H.E. President-elect and Nobel Prize Laureate, Mr. José Ramos-Horta, the show integrates the celebrations of the 20th anniversary of the Restoration of Timor-Leste's Independence, in May 2022, which also coincides with the 20 years since the official opening of Fundação Oriente’s Delegation in the country.
