Upcoming OCTOBER 2025 EVENTS

Gonçalo Mabunda:

‘Peace, Reconciliation and the Potential for Transformation’

Sunday, October 5, 2025:

Gonçalo Mabunda uses his art in exuberant and engaging ways to build an archive of collective memory for his community in ways that are specific to Moçambique and which also resonate universally across so many places on the globe, faced with similar journeys on the road to transforming post-conflict societies. Read all about the Gonçalo Mabunda exhibition here.

Recovered weapons, the tactical and inhuman tools of destruction, are shaped into inspired traditional thrones and masks as a way of not only -  shining a spotlight on the costs of war and conflict -  but also illuminating the potential trajectories towards building better futures.

This exhibition runs in parallel to Emory's Michael C. Carlos Museum Fall Exhibition - Insistent Presence.
