SARP presents Antes de sormos imagem fomos nome, a new exhibition by Brazilian artist Gabriella Garcia. 
The artist examines Linguaglossa through art, recognizing how history materializes in space and form. The narrative delves into how images—of saints, angels, marble, and natural elements—embody layers of history, becoming part presence, part dream. This visual transformation echoes Warburg’s notion of afterlife in imagery. Respect for natural forms and their integration into artistic composition becomes central. 

Curatorial text by Guilherme Teixeira. 

The curator explores the intricate relationship between material, memory, fear, and time. The text meanders through philosophical reflections on how history manifests in physical forms—like stone, earth, and canvas—and how fear might be tied to these elements. Teixeira engages in a dialogue, both literal and imagined, with Gabriella, contemplating how matter and gesture carry historical responsibility and how time shapes perception.
