Jéssica Burrinha and Mikha-ez Explore Earth's Sounds in Lisbon Exhibition
The exhibition 'Sons da terra' at Galeria Central da Casa do Jardim da Estrela in Lisbon presents two new projects by artists Jéssica Burrinha (Barreiro, 1993) and Mikha-ez (Gijón, 1991), curated by Francisca Gigante and Francisco Teles da Gama of FITA – Friends In The Arts. Running until July 3, 2026, the show links Burrinha's 'Campo de girasoles' and Mikha-ez's 'Degradaciones' to reflect on planetary sounds and ecological sensitivities. Burrinha's work addresses human trafficking and labor exploitation of immigrants in Portugal's Alentejo agricultural region, using dried sunflower fields near the Roxo reservoir as a metaphor for hope and solidarity. Mikha-ez's 'Degradaciones' explores soil exhaustion, territorial exploitation, and the degradation of earthly experience, challenging the verticality of modern digital life.
