Nefelibata

Nefelibata is a Portuguese word for "cloud walker"; one who lives in the clouds of their own imagination or dreams, or one who does not obey the conventions of society, literature, or art. This exhibition seeks work representing this concept of living in the endless confines of your imagination, with varying interpretations of Nefelibata encouraged. An installation room is available for interested artists.
