Portuguese artist Alexandre Marreiros is holding an exhibition to show his impressions of Brazil’s notorious favelas (shantytowns) he visited during his stay in the South American country.
Brazil’s slums are known as favelas, a term coined in the late 1800s, named after a skin-irritating tree, according to Wikipedia.
Marreiros’s exhibition titled “Cnidoscolus quercifolius” is co-hosted by the Cultural Affairs Bureau (IC) and the Macau Museum of Art (MAM). The exhibition is taking place on the third floor of the museum at the Macau Cultural Centre (CCM) complex in Nape.
