User Guide is an exhibition by La Ribot (Madrid, 1962) documenting a journey through her work over the last twenty years. The works integrating the exhibition are, like all her work, closely connected to the relationship between dance and visual arts.

Man was a multi-faceted creator who carried out all his work in Camelle (Camariñas), completely isolated from the mainstream art world.

Since the very beginnings of her research and artistic practice, Ângela Ferreira has always focused her work on the colonial legacy of Africa and, broadly speaking, on the relations between Europe and Africa.
