In Hard Rain Show the complex relationships between Europe and Africa are interrogated using the back and forth of modernism and its complicity with colonialism and its utopian promise of a better future. Over the last twenty years Ângela Ferreira has created an extensive oeuvre in which she interrogates geo-political, art historical and gender issues related to given cultural contexts through a range of different media. Her installations frequently include sculptures that evoke modernist practices, combined with semi-documentary photographic and video material. Formulating questions about notions of perspective, her work opens up spaces between the political and the aesthetical.
