Gilberto Lascariz 

Writer and esoteric. Created in 1989 the Conventículo TerraSerpente and Confraria Sol-Negro, both organizations dedicated to the artistic aesthetic renewal of the arts from the esoteric point of view. Throughout the eighties and early nineties he published essays in various magazines and literary articles about fashion and art, from the perspective of the Esoteric and Luciferism, with intention to bring to artistic context the spiritual experience that many philosophers of Surrealism and Fantastic Art of Vienna advocated in the first half of the twentieth century.

Magenta Interior

Originally from Hungary, living between Lisbon, Istanbul and Berlin. Interior plays with the variations of any color palette, with its luminous, physical and metaphorical meanings, in the expression of human emotions. The expression of Magenta often translates into texts and at other times images. Her texts have been translated into illustrations by several Portuguese artists and into moving image by visual artist Ana Carvalho.

HOMO/HystericalOneManOrchestra

Is the solo project of Filipe Silva, in which he makes frequent use of the acoustic phenomenon of feedback both as a sonic element and as a manifestation of cyclical cause-and-effect events.

HOMO’s performances are based on the relation between bodily gesture and the production of sound, lying at the intersection of base acoustic principles, shamanic evocation and low-fi illusionism.
