Paulo T. Silva was one of the artists invited to participate in the exhibition "Them or Us! A Project of Science Fiction, Social and Political" at the Municipal Gallery of Porto (Jun-Aug 2017), curated by Paulo Mendes. The artwork created for the exhibition, presented here, reveals a series of old small municipal libraries (1949) that were made available by the Lisbon City Council, outdoors, in the city's gardens, a point of view to inscribe the space/time of the gardens/places of silence, the appropriation of images from archives/collections, and an analog/digital 'in-between' in contemporary creative processes.
