Please Do Not Touch is an afrofuturist monologue that explores themes such as the role of museums in colonialism and contemporary globalised societies, the consequences of cultural looting, the environmental, spiritual, and artistic scars left by Western imperialism, and questions of representation within cultural institutions—from artists to audiences.
The performance raises questions such as: What is art? Who can be an artist? What happens when a culture is silenced and erased? Who gets to see themselves represented in art and culture? Who are museums for?
A guided tour unconstrained by linear time, Please Do Not Touch promises to address issues that remain taboo in Portugal and across the Global North.
