En las notas de la contraportada del disco Caetano Veloso (1967), este dice: “Gil, hoje não tem sopa na varanda de Maria”. En los años sesenta, decían, allí se hacían fiestas. En esas fiestas, una sopa. La actriz Maria Moniz, hija de los dueños de la Casa Boulevard y actual moradora de parte de esta, organizaba encuentros en el balcón de la casa.

For the third iteration of OtherNetwork’s flagship curatorial project, NGO - Nothing Gets Organised partnered with renowned Brazilian non-profit art space Pivô, for a conversation between the cities of Johannesburg and São Paulo.

Following the debut OtherNetwork exhibition curated by Foundation for Contemporary Art-Ghana at ifa Gallery Stuttgart in 2022, the curatorial project continues in the form of a relay. For the second iteration, FCA-Ghana have invited NGO–Nothing Gets Organised from Johannesburg to guest curate an exhibition at their own space in Accra.

‘If we’re happy in our dreams, does that count?’ was the first edition of an ongoing curatorial project organised by OtherNetwork that takes the form of a relay: for each iteration, one independent art space acts as host and is given the opportunity to invite another space from somewhere in the world to be their guest.
