Chapa 100 by Filipe Branquinho, is a proposal to re-read the heritage and social experience of Mozambique. This series is a reproduction of the informal means of transport used in Maputo, using utility vehicles in the absence of reliable public transport offer, and reveals the look of the trained architect that existed before the artist, his attraction to urban structures and their significance.
