Umbigo is a well-established quarterly arts and culture journal from Portugal. Issues contain essays, interviews, special art projects and collaborations and much more and the covers are specially designed for the magazine.
From the publisher:
"Umbigo #91 closes the cycle of publications planned for 2024, this time dedicated to Disappearance. What at first may seem vaguely pessimistic, it then gains another interpretation – that of resistance to forgetfulness, erasure and neglect, exploring, in this way, the fields of ontology, political history, ecosystems, ecology, post-colonial struggles and archaeology.
We highlight, Paula Nascimento’s curatorial project, Constellations of Dust, deeply rooted in archivism, the (re)construction of memory and how the retelling of History remains a fertile territory for contemporary art. Included in this exhibition are works by Aline Motta, Christian Salablanca Díaz, Dimakatho Mathopa, Tuli Mekondjo, Sabelo Mlangeni and Helena Uambembe.
Signing this issue’s covers, the Art Project by Edson Chagas, who also looks at his archive and proposes a new dialogue between the Tipo Passe and Oikonomos series, and the work of Adrian Paci, whose themes often focus on migration, exile, war, poverty, the family and everyday policies. On the back cover, a detail of the installation She Still Wears Kohl and Smells Like Roses, by Dima Srouji."
