Paula Rego E Adriana Varejão Exhibition

====NOT a guided tour====
(while Sundays are usually free in museums, I added the full ticket price just in case it is not)

‘Between Your Teeth’ is the subtitle of the exhibition, featuring around 80 works by two internationally recognised artists: Paula Rego (Lisbon, Protected content London, Protected content Adriana Varejão (Rio de Janeiro, Protected content . The title is taken from a poem by Hilda Hilst, ‘Poems for the men of our time’, and in this verse we immediately sense the raw nature of this encounter.

Paula Rego and Adriana Varejão are from different generations, from two continents, Europe and South America, separated by the Atlantic Ocean, but their activity coincided over a period of three decades, pursuing autonomous paths, which often converged at multiple levels. This exhibition has sought to bring to each of its thematic rooms, points of intersection where these lines intertwine and generate points of light, in a dramaturgy in which the selected works are the main protagonists.
