In her work, Keila Alaver investigates objects that represent the culture in which she lives and that have gradually disappeared, either because of consumers’ lack of interest, or because of changes in the local production chain.
When modified and moved into the context of art, objects acquire a new meaning, giving rise to questions about their status.
In the first moment of the occupation, Alaver presents a set of envelopes and other stationery items customized using different techniques. During the occupation, other works created from his personal archive will be incorporated including live performative actions.
The occupation of the stand located in the courtyard of Vermelho began in 2022 with the collective Depois do fim da Arte.
