As we embark on Rómulo Santa Rita’s vision, we are taken on a transformative journey where profound truths emerge, and empathy becomes the foundation for a new understanding. This collective awakening is essential to building a future that transcends the barriers of culture, race, and social class – an inclusive world where empathy establishes itself as the driving force behind a truly just and compassionate society.

This exhibition is made possible thanks to a continuous and significant partnership with the Seixal Municipal Council, which, for the second time, reinforces its support for our mission to highlight contemporary African art and the social and cultural issues it brings to the forefront.

For Afrikanizm Art, this partnership represents a shared commitment to promoting cultural diversity and elevating themes that deserve a prominent place in the national artistic landscape. The support of the Seixal Municipal Council not only broadens the reach of our mission but also fosters a closer dialogue with the local community, bringing art closer to everyone and creating new horizons for understanding and transformation.

We invite everyone to discover “Black Lies Matter”, an exhibition that transcends aesthetic boundaries to establish itself as a space for reflection and dialogue. Together, we can transform art into a bridge for empathy and change – because only through collective effort can we build a more just, conscious, and inclusive world.
