At the same time also the exhibition that first reconstructs the living and working space of the Afro-descendant artist and activist Bertina Lopes: a partial reconstruction of the studio and the house is presented (in Rome Lopes lived 70 years, transforming his home-studio into a meeting point for intellectuals, artists, poets, refugees and activists of the Mozambican and Portuguese community, but also from other African and European countries), thanks to the photographic documentation created by the photographer Giorgio Benni.
