Title On Exile Degree of recognition International Media name/outlet Contemporânea Media type Web Country/Territory Portugal Date 24/01/18 Description An article published in the magazine Contemporânea following José Carlos Teixeira’s work titled On Exile, exhibited during 2018 at Lisbon’s MAAT. The work examines two seemingly separate issues in relation to the notion of exile: the global refugee crisis and the rising rates of depression. The exhibition showcases two video-essays, each displayed separately; refugees- on one side of the space, and people struggling with depression and other mental illnesses-on the other side. The act of bringing these two groups into conversation with each other reframes the state of exile as a human way of being within the world, a state not necessarily defined by territorial and national belongings. By brilliantly weaving mental and physical worlds, Teixeira challenges the notion of exile as limited to the material realm, radically expanding it to include non-physical states of being far from one’s home.
