The exhibition 209 took place at Estúdio Atilho in April 2026, a collaboration between Leonor Sousa, Mariana Ferreira and Rafael Raposo Pires.

“(…) The works presented by Leonor explore (…) the idea of ​​Stage in a broad sense as a place of possibilities, where movements and actions are rehearsed, articulating concepts such as access, displacement, belonging, and alienation. (…) Rafael’s photographs question themes of power and disguise, focusing on places of periodic use, such as fairs and markets. In these spaces, marked by the wear and tear of the sidewalks and the scarcity of vegetation, the traces of the landscape’s transformation remain visible. (…) Between imagined scenarios and landscapes marked by use, a reflection emerges on the intermittent landscape of places and the ways of inhabiting them.” – exhibition text excerpts
