"If kuduro had a single purpose, perhaps it would be this: to be seen. Visibility is a right from which many other rights emerge, and the makers of kuduro, as an artistic practice, know this well. Through the empirical experience of survival, they have learned the formula of existence. This exhibition is about exactly that. History has taught us to view cultural expressions produced on the margins merely as responses to structures of power, as though their existence depended solely on what they resist."

"Its beaches are the final surface of a deep geological and political stratigraphy, where the history of extraction continues under new names. I began this journey at the edge of Europe, where the continent folds into the Atlantic, and the maps run out. I ended it on the other side of the same water, where the maps were always drawn by someone else, for someone else, with someone else’s interests marking the center. To turn the map upside down, as I suggested at the outset, is not merely a metaphor: it is an epistemological act, a way of asking whose knowledge counts, whose memory is archived and whose is submerged. The sea between Lisbon and Kingston is not empty. It is the most crowded place on earth, full of unreported deaths and stories. The time has come to gather them, to bring them back into view, and to listen, carefully, tirelessly, to the voices that history tried to drown."

"New Hunting Narratives does not need to be the perfect anthology. No first opening needs to reach such a high bar. But the series is born from an ancestry of burnt archives, interrupted languages, neighbourhoods filmed by others, poorly translated bodies, talents without rooms, belated criticism, distracted television networks. And when something is born like that, in the right place, before an audience that responds, it goes from a mere episode to a cultural foundation."

"Stories told by women from Santo Antão about women-cats-witches and midwives of mermaids that go to the bottom of the sea, to the palace of the “enchanting” to provide their services by receiving three stones that will turn into gold. I really like this universe, and I take the opportunity to create characters for my art. Today, I work on a series based on the abandoned boats that existed in Galé (Cova da Inglesa) and the shipwrecked boats in the seas of Cape Verde. I believe that each artist should look within themselves for authenticity and get “contaminated” with the atmosphere around them: so they will reach a universal projection."
