Transmission is pleased to present an in-conversation and Q&A between Irineu Destourelles and Tiffany Boyle, at the closing of Irineu’s solo exhibition ‘Tainted Verbal’ at Transmission.

Irineu is an artist born in the Cape Verde islands in West Africa. He grew up in Lisbon, as Portugal struggled with the legacy of a 48-year dictatorship (1926 – 1974) with an ultra-colonial policy in Portuguese speaking Africa. Working across different media, he explores the reproduction of colonial patterns of thinking in contemporary society, with a particular interest in processes of ‘othering’.
