A convite da Cooperativa cultural Acrítica, criei este auto retrato para a exposição Carmo é nome de mulher, que inaugurou no passado dia 5 de Setembro, no espaço Carmo'81, em Viseu.
A inspiração veio de um discurso escrito por Virginia Woolf, em 1931, para a National Society for Womens Service. Esta escritora sempre se bateu pela igualdade entre os sexos, sobretudo a intelectual. Repesco o seu conceito do anjo da casa, uma espécie de fantasma que assombra as mulheres, incentivando-as a permanecer no lugar que lhes foi predestinado por uma sociedade misógina.

The Cooperativa cultural Acrítica, invited me to participate in the exhibition "Carmo é nome de mulher" (Carmo is a female name), that was inaugurated this past 5th of September, in Carmo'81, in Viseu.
For this self portrait, i was inspired by a speech writen by Virginia Woolf, in 1931, for the "National Society for Womens Service". This writer always battled for gender equality, specially intellectual. I took up the concept of the "angel of the house", a kind of ghost that haunts women, encouraging them to stay in the place predestined to them, by a misogynist society.
