Deep Time
Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência
12 September to 27 October 2024
Deep Time is an exhibition that brings together 14 Iberian artists invited to explore, through comics, the concept of “deep time”—the passage of time recorded in geological layers. The chemical and biological markers of our planet’s transformation carry a poetics familiar to comics, where the juxtaposition of elements produces a chronological sequence. Deep Time reflects on the necessity of integrating the human scale into the geological scale, at a moment when we have already profoundly altered the Earth’s systems.
Opening: 12 September, from 6 pm to 8 pm.

Amanda Baeza / Ana Maçã / André Pereira / Begoña García-Alén / Bruno Borges / Cátia Serrão / Daniel Lima / Hetamoé / Irkus / Mao / Martín López Lam / Ricardo Paião Oliveira / Roberto Massó / Rudolfo
