PUBLIC ART IN LISBON by @fidelevora 🏙️
The Underdogs Public Art Programme takes in a new mural by Fidel Évora, an artist born in the Cape Verdean city of Praia, and raised in Barreiro, Portugal.
This work, on view at Cais do Sodré, draws upon a poem by Francisco Xavier da Cruz: the Cape Verdean musician also known as B.Leza. Words from “Lua nua Testemunha” are superimposed on the warm, safe gaze of a woman, in blue and yellow tint: the moon bearing witness to a life of misfortune and longing.
If you are in town, be sure to pass by and check it out!

📸 Did you know that Alfredo Cunha’s “Viva a Liberdade” exhibition at @underdogs_gallery inspired a special photo book?
The cover artwork for “25 de Abril de 1974 – Quinta-feira”, printed in acryllic, was designed by Alexandre Farto aka @vhils. Inside the book, you can find 4 risographs by the visual artist, depicting the April 25th revolution and more.
Cunha’s historic documents reveal the city as a place of protest and freedom of expression. An approach in harmony with Vhils’ outlook on the urban world, in perpetual movement and charged with social significance.
Releasing on December 4th at 4 PM GMT, exclusively through the @underdogs_gallery online Viewing Room, along with more artworks by Alexandre Farto aka @vhils

Underdogs in Brazil with @wastedrita, in a red neon glow 🇧🇷 Last month, @underdogs_gallery was thrilled to take the Porto-born artist to @mapa.festival in Minas Gerais.
“Nem todos os morros vão dar ao céu” is Wasted Rita’s first artwork in Portuguese, in tribute to the mining community of Itabira. Known for her morsels of sarcastic wisdom, the illustrator flips her approach.
This is an earnest tribute to resilience: an artwork fueled by the collective strength of a people working through uphill terrain, coming out the other side.

Underdogs is taking over Iminente! ✊ We’ll be at @festivaliminente with a Pop-up Store. Join us at @museudelisboa – Jardins do Palácio Pimenta on October 12th and 13th.
Besides the Pop-up Store, we’ll have plenty of surprises throughout the weekend. On the 12th, we’ll be celebrating the launch of @tamara_aalves book! “Tamara Alves – Underdogs Artists Collection” offers a powerful exploration of the artist’s work, where urban aesthetics and street culture meet a raw, poetic sensibility.
Through her art, @tamara_aalves confronts us with our inner selves, reflecting the contradictions of human nature and challenging us to embrace a higher awareness rooted in honesty and truth. Her work acts as a mirror to our dormant desires, creating a chain reaction that is both personal and universal.
The book will be available in a standard edition, and there will be a signing session where the artist will personally hand-finish the print that is included in the special edition.
