- Veiga, Leonor. Movimentu Kultura in Timor-Leste: Maria Madeira’s ‘agency’. The material expression of Movimentu Kultura encompasses all available media including installation and performance, but painting on canvas appears to be the preferred form of expression of contemporary artists. The most distinguishable material aspect of Movimentu Kultura relates to the incorporation of ‘fragments of tradition’, that are understood as legacies from the cultural past. Such fragments are utilised in three main forms, varying from what can be described as a surrealistic tendency (born from contact with books and images) to a naturalistic one (encompassing portraits, landscapes and aspects of everyday life). The third disposition, which can be described as assemblage and collage art in a synthetic cubist fashion, results from the placement of certain traces (pieces of traditional cloth, betel nut paste, shells) onto the space of the canvas. These three main trends, more preeminent in painting, share space with the growing trends in installation art, performance art, block printing and ready-made art.
