The novobanco Photography Gallery presents “Terra”, an exhibition in which the terracotta sculptures of Beatriz Horta Correia engage in a thoughtful dialogue with photographs from the novobanco collection, selected by the artist. This encounter unfolds as a layered exploration of material, memory, and landscape. Here, earth is not simply a medium but a generative force, a site where gestures accumulate, histories sediment, and forms emerge. Clay becomes both matter and metaphor: a tactile language through which the artist reflects on ancestral practices, embodied knowledge, and the temporal rhythms that bind humans to their environments. The photographs, in turn, expand this reflection, opening new perspectives on how land is inhabited, marked, and imagined.
The exhibition further extends this conversation through a textile work by Bombony and a video by Miguel Gaspar, each contributing additional sensorial and conceptual dimensions to this shared investigation of territory, materiality, and the traces we leave behind.
