Exhibiting Poets, Poetry


Maybe a way of working with poets in galleries and museums that breaks from text on walls, objects? Another way of saying, We hear you, your voice is important to us? I don't know.

Hidden in the cave we forge of one another is an installation project commissioned by Batalha Centro de Cinema and developed by artists Alice dos Reis and Isadora Pedro Neves Marques together with poet CAConrad.

The project includes a new film produced in New York in the summer of 2022, new poems presented as sculptural objects, and an eponymous book, published jointly by Livros do Pântano and Batalha Centro de Cinema.

The film, created on the invitation of Batalha, explores the unmistakable literary voice of CAConrad and, more broadly, their biography and some of their spiritual convictions: a passion for poetry, their ecological preoccupations and the legacy of the AIDS crisis.

The opening included a new performance with CAConrad and guests.
