Another is a showcase called “Sliding Horizons” featuring artwork by Brazilian artist Rodrigo Braga. The third, “Other Gazes”, is an exhibition by Chipi, an artist from Guinea-Bissau.

The latter two exhibitions are being held at Macau Fisherman’s Wharf. An opening ceremony for them took place on October 12 at 4.30pm.
