SUMMARY:Learn to Play and Play to Learn
DESCRIPTION:We believe the museum is also a place to play\, discover\, and learn freely. The Play Room\, located on floor -1 of the museum\, emerges from this desire: to offer alternative ways of being in and thinking about the museum. It is a space where play\, creation\, experimentation\, and curiosity meet\, and where workshops such as “Learn to Play & Play to Learn” take place.\nDeveloping forms of mediation and engagement with art and space\, objects inspired by works in the MAC/CCB collections give rise to games and proposals that promote a more interactive and accessible visit. A “Play Room Leaflet\,” with texts and activity suggestions adapted to different age groups\, accompanies the experience.\nParticipation is open\, with a member of the Education and Mediation team on hand to assist\, suggest pathways\, and accompany discoveries. Open to families—proof that learning also happens through play! \n  \n

SUMMARY:An Atlantic Drift
DESCRIPTION:An Atlantic Drift charts and unravels paths through the arts of the 20th century\, specifically the period from 1909 to 1977\, seeking to disrupt preconceived notions and established canons by bringing together references and artistic forms that are usually kept apart. The exhibition follows an erratic chronology\, marked by digressions and temporal leaps\, thereby revealing connections and confrontations between the European and American shores to suggest potential relationships and drifts often overlooked or absent from art history. \nThe Atlantic\, particularly from the mid-20th century onward\, becomes a crucial space for transits and exiles\, fostering new geopolitical affinities that have shaped modern subjectivities with repercussions that persist to this day. As a reinstallation of the permanent collection\, An Atlantic Drift presents a selection of Portuguese and international artists spanning painting\, sculpture\, drawing\, installation\, and graphic arts\, mapping out art as part of world history and portraying modernity as a multifaceted eruption of social\, artistic\, and technological transformations. \nFrom Pablo Picasso to Amadeo de Souza-Cardoso\, Lourdes Castro to Marcel Duchamp\, Andy Warhol to Wifredo Lam\, Maria Helena Vieira da Silva to Joaquín Torres-García\, Jackson Pollock to Malangatana\, and Lucio Fontana to Ana Hatherly—a total of around 160 artists—the exhibition unfolds in chapters that reveal the complexities of historical and artistic developments in the 20th century. This period\, marked by two World Wars in Europe and their aftermath\, as well as the revolutionary and decolonisation processes of the 1970s\, is also seen as a time of transformation that invites rethinking through new narratives. \nAs a permanently evolving permanent exhibition\, An Atlantic Drift offers a unique presentation of the collections on loan to MAC/CCB—mainly the Berardo Collection\, but also the Holma/Ellipse Collection\, the Teixeira de Freitas Collection\, and the Portuguese State Contemporary Art Collection. Nonetheless\, it also incorporates loans from collections in Portugal\, allowing for reimagining the place of Portuguese art within 20th-century artistic developments. \n  \nCurated by Nuria Enguita (Artistic Director at MAC/CCB) and Marta Mestre (curator at MAC/CCB)\nScientific advisor: Mariana Pinto dos Santos \n  \nGuided exhibition tours \n \n◾ Cross-cutting\, Tour in English\nAn Atlantic Drift. The Arts of the 20th Century Based on the Berardo Collection + May I Help You? Posso Ajudar? Arts and Artists from the 1970s Onwards\nSaturday\, june 13\, at 3:00pm\nFree participation with prior registration at servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt \, and purchase of a museum entry ticket.

SUMMARY:May I Help You? Posso ajudar?
DESCRIPTION:The everyday question “May I help you?” was used by Andrea Fraser in a performance that addressed the complex institutional relationships within the art world. The same question may also be turned towards the museum itself: what kind of help is actually being offered\, and what kind of connection can still be expected in an era of increasing fragmentation\, dissonance and impermanence? The exhibition draws on five decades of artistic production\, from the 1970s to today\, and features works by ninety artists—including Ad Minoliti (in the museum’s main hall)\, Alberto Carneiro\, Carla Filipe\, Doris Salcedo\, Helena Almeida\, Gabriel Abrantes\, Gilbert & George\, Jeff Koons\, Júlia Ventura\, Kara Walker\, and Richard Serra\, among many others. The works are drawn from collections on long-term loan to the MAC/CCB (the Berardo Collection\, the State Contemporary Art Collection\, and the Teixeira de Freitas Collection)\, and are complemented by new commissions from Portuguese artists. \n  \nCurators Nuria Enguita and Marta Mestre\nCuratorial Adviser Raphael Fonseca (Denver Art Museum) \n  \nThe exhibition “MAY I HELP YOU? POSSO AJUDAR?” Arts and Artists from the 1970s Onwards\, inspired by Andrea Fraser’s performance of the same name\, explores the diversity of representations\, presences\, and narratives within the artistic field\, questioning the idea of a single\, linear direction in art history. Through dialogues between works spanning the last five decades\, the exhibition examines what artists are and do\, and the social roles they imagine for themselves. From the ruptures that redefined art in the 1970s to the accelerated digitalisation of the present\, it highlights a range of heterogeneous formats\, functions\, and intensities. \nNuria Enguita\nCurator of the exhibition and artistic director of MAC/CCB \n  \nArtists: \nGabriel Abrantes\, Helena Almeida\, Giovanni Anselmo\, Robert Barry\, Taysir Batniji\, Lothar Baumgarten\, Bernd & Hilla Becher\, Sara Bichão\, Irma Blank\, Alighiero Boetti\, Christian Boltanski\, Olaf Breuning\, Daniel Buren\, Alberto Carneiro\, Gabriel Chaile\, Adriano Costa\, Jim Dine\, Jimmie Durham\, Carla Filipe\, Fischli & Weiss\, Dan Flavin\, Fernanda Fragateiro\, Andrea Fraser\, Gilbert & George\, Simryn Gill\, Fernanda Gomes\, Félix González-Torres\, Dan Graham\, Hans Haacke\, David Hammons\, Ana Hatherly\, Mona Hatoum\, Kiluanji Kia Henda\, Thomas Hirschhorn\, Jenny Holzer\, Rebecca Horn\, Sanja Iveković\, Ana Jotta\, Donald Judd\, Mike Kelley\, Yazan Khalili\, Jeff Koons\, Joseph Kosuth\, Jannis Kounellis\, Barbara Kruger\, Louise Lawler\, Sol LeWitt\, Glenn Ligon\, João Marçal\, Agnes Martin\, Cildo Meireles\, Mario Merz\, Ad Minoliti\, Matt Mullican\, Bruce Nauman\, Senga Nengudi\, Chris Ofili\, Gabriel Orozco\, Damián Ortega\, Pino Pascali\, Silvestre Pestana\, Raymond Pettibon\, Antonio Pichillá\, Sandra Poulson\, Robert Rauschenberg\, Doris Salcedo\, Alan Saret\, Julião Sarmento\, Allan Sekula\, Richard Serra\, Jim Shaw\, Susana Solano\, Haim Steinbach\, Frank Stella\, Wolfgang Tillmans\, Rosemarie Trockel\, João Pedro Vale + Nuno Alexandre Ferreira\, Júlia Ventura\, Vídeo nas Aldeias\, Kara Walker\, Franz West\, Yonamine\, Bruno Zhu. \n  \n  \n Visit to the exhibition\n \n◾ Cross-cutting\, Tour in English\nAn Atlantic Drift.

SUMMARY:Shared Museum
DESCRIPTION:At weekends\, MAC/CCB opens its doors to people living with dementia and their families for moments of sharing and discovery through art. \nThese encounters aim to offer inclusive\, meaningful artistic experiences in which artworks become a starting point for dialogue\, the evocation of memories\, imagination\, and expression. Each work contains multiple meanings and possible worlds\, prompting conversations\, emotions\, and sensory experiences that invite active participation—through words\, gesture\, and hands-on making. \nIn a calm and welcoming environment\, these moments foster closeness between participants\, strengthening emotional bonds and creating a space of sharing and serenity. More than museum visits\, they are unique family moments in which time slows down and art becomes a mediator of relationships\, listening\, and presence. \nAn invitation to see\, stay\, feel\, make\, experience\, and share—together\, in the museum.

SUMMARY:Acid Communism
DESCRIPTION:The Barber Shop presents: Acid Communism\, thinking about the common from Mark Fisher\nAt the exhibition Avenida 211: An Artists’ Space in Lisbon \n  \nIn this session dedicated to Mark Fisher’s Acid Communism\, the project space The Barber Shop revisits one of the central theorists of its programme through lectures by Aleksandra Odette Kypriotaki and Miguel Cardoso\, and a sound performance by Polido. \nMark Fisher (1968–2017) was a British cultural theorist\, author\, prolific blogger (known as K-Punk)\, and lecturer in Visual Cultures at Goldsmiths University\, London. Also a former member of the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit (CCRU) and the founder of Zero Books\, he is known for his influential work on neoliberalism\, music\, and mental health\, most notably in his books Capitalist Realism\, Ghosts of My Life\, and The Weird and the Eerie.  \nMark Fisher’s legacy marked a generation of writers and theorists\, and his unfinished book project Acid Communism aims to revive the utopian potential of psychedelic counterculture to imagine a future beyond capitalist realism. It proposes fusing class consciousness with psychedelic consciousness to break with capitalist\, neoliberal\, and patriarchal regimes\, and in doing so it keeps inspiring new horizons for collectivity. \nThis event is curated by Margarida Mendes\, director of The Barber Shop (2009–2016)\, a project space dedicated to transdisciplinary artistic research originally located in the Avenida 211 building. \nFor about seven years\, The Barber Shop project space hosted artists\, philosophers\, musicians\, and curators to present their investigations in an intimate and exploratory way. It functioned as a small cultural embassy\, ​​opening doors to contemporary discourses on art society\, and stimulating intersectional dialogue about the conditions of the world. \n  \nConversation in English.  \n  \n💻 Free admission with prior registration through the form or servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt.

SUMMARY:An Enemy of the People
DESCRIPTION:By the time Marco Martins was considering working from An Enemy of the People\, by Ibsen\, as a logical development of the interest on the conflict between the individual and the collective as a main theme in his creations\, on December 19\, 2024\, the Portuguese Public Security Police (PSP) carried out a special crime prevention operation on Rua do Benformoso\, in Lisbon\, an artery inhabited and frequented mainly by immigrants from the Asian subcontinent\, mainly from Bangladesh. The street was closed and about 60 people were forced to face the wall\, with their hands above their heads for about two hours. Their bodies forced into a position difficult to maintain for so long\, simultaneously hiding their faces. \nThe images went viral and sparked a debate about the legitimacy of the operation and the means used. Working closely with that community and considering the image of those defenseless bodies deprived of dignity\, Marco Martins proposes a reflection about the way in which the media and political parties from different spheres manipulate the image of these people without ever truly giving them a voice. \nAs has been the case throughout Marco Martins’ extensive career in theatrical work with specific communities\, the play – following an invitation from Braga/Capital of Culture 2025 and the co-production and complicity of Centro Cultural de Belém\, Teatro Municipal do Porto and Théâtre de Liège\, will be anchored in the biographies of the people who were put against the wall and will depart from the physical experience of that situation. \nAn investigation is already being developed by journalists Joana Pereira Bastos and Raquel Moleiro\, with the help of Rana Uddin\, leader of the Bangladeshi community\, to meet the people who were targeted by the operation and will simultaneously be the cast at the core of this piece. \nThe play An Enemy  Of The People\, the new creation by Marco Martins based on Ibsen’s original play\, is the artistic proposal chosen by the CCB to be the co-production project of the Prospero NEW network. The CCB takes on the role of main co-producer\, already counting on the collaboration of the Théâtre de Liège. \n  \nThis performance uses strobe lights. \n
