About The Artwork

BUALA
Bualabu.a.la / ˈbwalɐ, Female name
1. village; settlement; quimbo
2. neighbourhood
3. land From the Quicongo or Fiote buala, "ditto"

BUALA is an immersive installation that invites visitors to embark on a captivating exploration of identity, materiality and the interaction between urban environments and personal narratives. Created by artist Rómulo de Santa Rita, this thought-provoking installation of artworks is inspired by Angola's suburban landscapes, using cardboard, paint, spray paint and metal sheets - materials that are commonly found in the construction of houses in these areas.

As working partners, the artist would especially like to thank José Silva Pinto for the invaluable reference images in his most recent book, "Fotografias com Gente lá dentro" (Photographs with People Inside). These images serve as a visual dialogue that underpins the creation of "Buala".

ABOUT THE ARTIST

Rómulo Santa Rita

As an autodidact, he moved to Luanda in 2011, where he found the inspiration that helped define his urban interventions as visual expressions of life and thought. These are then materialized through compositions based on alternative materials such as cardboard, books with stains of acrylic paint and gouache, and pieces of magazines and papers, which he carefully selects in accordance with the specific political, social, and cultural topics addressed.
