"An Urban Silence" featuring work by five emerging Portuguese artists is showing at The Exchange, in Cornwall, until 17th September.

The artists use photography, video and painting to focus on urban spaces and each artist has taken a perspective of cities without citizens. 'An Urban Silence' is supported by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation.
