Artist from Ceará Charles Lessa makes an artistic intervention at Instituto Ling

The Instituto Ling (Rua João Caetano, 400) will receive from Monday (10) the visual artist from Ceará Charles Lessa for a live intervention on one of the walls of the cultural center. From April 10th to 14th, the public will be able to follow the creation of the new work, full time, free of charge, observing the choices, gestures and movements of the artist who develops works in figurative painting, investigating popular aesthetics in dialogue with contemporary art .

The activity is part of the second season of the Ling Presentes project, which this year is curated by Bitu Cassundé, researcher and current Heritage and Memory Manager at the Centro Cultural do Cariri, in Ceará. After the mural is finished, Lessa will comment on the experience and the result in a chat with the public and the curator on Saturday, the 15th, at 11 am. The conversation can be followed for free at Instituto Ling. To participate, simply register in advance and at no cost on the website www.institutoling.org.br.

The work will be on display for visitation until June 3, with free admission, and can be seen from Monday to Saturday (except holidays), from 10:30 to 20:00. By the end of 2023, the project will receive three other artists, all from the Northeast, inviting each of them to make unprecedented interventions from new perspectives on their origins, accessing memories, ancestry and popular culture.
