Between memory and fiction, imaginative speculation and sensory sharing, Névoa-Nada places at its heart the power of storytelling and poetic discourse in the construction of the human narrative. How far do we go in the material world we have built? Of all that surrounds us, what tells our story? What words shape us and protect us from the oblivion to which we are all destined?

Névoa-Nada draws inspiration from poets’ interpretations of the world and the power of their discourse as a means of grasping reality in flux. This project emerges as a reflection on the materiality of artistic creation, based on the transience of a human existence dedicated to building shared worlds. Névoa-Nada celebrates Gustavo Ciríaco’s 30-year career.
