The artist Sami Hilal helps us to walk through his works: “Affective memory, writing and literature are recurrent themes in my conceptual process, result in experimental research showing new paths new discoveries. A hybrid work between drawing and sculpture ”.

With works that emerge from intense research, some of Sami Hilal's creations impact us in the video that this multimedia artist launches the next day 30 October, at 4:00 pm, on MNBA social networks: Facebook – MNBARio and Instagram – @mnbario, within the Arte em Diálogo project - In Quarantine.
