On 9 May at 5 pm, the Horta Museum \u2013 Jesuit College will host the opening of the exhibition \u201cFaial Whaling Stations \u2013 Scrimshaw by Cl\u00e1udia Furtado\u201d, a show dedicated to the work of Faial-born artist Cl\u00e1udia Furtado, also known as Kakaz. The exhibition will remain open to the public over the coming months at the Horta Museum and can be visited during regular opening hours with free admission.<\/p>\n

The exhibition offers a journey through the world of scrimshaw, a traditional technique of engraving on whale bone, through pieces that highlight the artist\u2019s sensitivity and her connection to the Azorean cultural heritage. Alongside this, three iconic whaling stations on the island of Faial are depicted: Capelinhos, Sal\u00e3o and the Porto Pim Whaling Factory.<\/p>\n

In addition to the works on display, the public will have the opportunity to see some of the tools used by the artist in the engraving process, revealing the technical and artisanal dimension of these unique pieces.<\/p>\n

The opening event will also feature a screening of the short documentary \u201cBeauty Between Surfaces\u201d, by director Carley Bayers, produced as part of the Hotel Papel Sister City Arts Creative Residency in New Bedford.<\/p>\n

This is an opportunity for residents and visitors alike to (re)discover the art of scrimshaw and Faial\u2019s whaling heritage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
