Pandemic times calls for more artist participation, especially bio artists. Marta de Menezes, curated my work VR work, Grasping Permeability, into an exhibition in Mozilla Hubs, which included a virtual replica of the famous Cultivamos Cultura residency space in Portugal.

Acquired immunity displays artworks arising from our residencies and invited artists. We bring together artworks that were created as a response to challenges from the local environment: natural, social, and other artists. A response that we compare to the way the immune system responds to new challenges.
