Musa paradisiaca is an artistic project by Eduardo Guerra (Lisbon, 1986) and Miguel Ferrão (Lisbon, 1986), centred around dialogue. Based on temporary partnerships with entities of varying competences, Musa paradisíaca assumes different shapes, while always remaining discursive and participatory. Derived from this is the idea of creating a thoughtful family that expresses itself at various moments. Musa paradisiaca has been shown at various national and international exhibitions, sessions and presentations, including “Alma- -Bluco”, an individual exhibition at CRAC Alsace (Altkirch, França, 2015), “Come back Sir, you’re not from that world. Please come back Sir, you’re from this world”, an individual exhibition at Dan Gunn Gallery (Berlin, Germany, 2014), “Audição das máquinas / Audição das flores”, individual exhibitions at Kunsthalle Lissabon and Galeria 3+1 (Lisbon, Portugal, 2014), “O Museu a Haver”, a group exhibition at Fórum Eugénio de Almeida (Évora, Portugal, 2015), “Le lynx ne connaît pas de frontières”, a group exhibition at Fondation d’Entreprise Ricard (Paris, France, 2015), “Cantina-Máquina”, a performance at Museu de Arte Contemporânea de Serralves (Porto, Portugal, 2015), “Como se apanha um fugitivo? — Mostra de objetos conversáveis”, a performance at CAM - Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian (Lisbon, Portugal, 2013) and “Tarefas impossíveis (O Criado do Cenáculo)”, a performance at Palais de Tokyo (Paris, France, 2013).
