Changing Spaces group show was focused on the huge effect the Covid19 pandemic had on the relationships between humans and the spaces they inhabit. 

The bedrooms or cramped apartments that were once just a place to sleep have become whole worlds. Every space, interior or exterior, has been drastically recontextualised. Changing spaces showcases the work of eighteen artists chosen from an Open Call. Each of them exhibited a story of the personal relationship between someone and their space: whether the artist themselves or not, whether pandemic related, or not. 

Every work serves as a way to visualise the contrast between subject/space relationships. It either shows a new space, an interpretation of one, or the reminisce of one that is now lost.

Either way, the show encourages the audience to think of their own.

UNTOLD was a virtual group exhibition of young and emerging artists, hosted and curated by ASTRO. It showcased the results of the project “Breaking Borders Through Art”, organised by “Humanity on the Move”.

“Breaking Borders Through Art” aimed to amplify forced migrants voices. The idea is for migrants to share their stories through the work of artists with whom they closely collaborated over a 3 month period.

UNTOLD exhibits the fruits of these collaborations: A virtual exhibition of more than 70 artists bringing to life the UNTOLD personal stories of people that the world often ignores. The exhibition opens a direct line of communication between migrant and audience, through the prism of Art rather than that of western news media.

Group Show. In collaboration with HoM, the artworks produced in BBTA were showcased online from June through August 2021. The virtual exhibition, named “UNTOLD”, observed 13,128 clicks, namely from Portugal, Greece, United Kingdom, Germany and Spain.
