AÇORIANIDADES BY SARA AZAD

A collection of drawings that aims to reflect on behavior and our current and future identity. This line of São Miguel episodes translates into an artistic and personal commitment to value, portray, and criticize the daily life of São Miguel, as well as the habits and the Azorean way of being, through an interventional and humorous approach. The exhibition is part of the programming for Ponta Delgada Portuguese Capital of Culture 2026.
