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◾ Sunday\, May 31\, at 11:00am | With Portuguese Sign Language interpretation\nFree participation with prior registration at servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt \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\nSunday\, may 31 and june 13\, at 3:00pm\nFree participation with prior registration at servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt \, and purchase of a museum entry ticket.

SUMMARY:Frida Orupabo
DESCRIPTION:In her first solo exhibition in Portugal\, Frida Orupabo revisits the vast image archive she has been assembling on her Instagram account: a collection comprising material from colonial archives\, ethnographic photographs\, family portraits\, pop culture icons\, and digital fragments. For the artist\, this archive lays bare the tensions between intimacy and violence\, establishing a critical and emotional space. Inspired by digital flow\, the exhibition emphasises the “abyss” of images—their strangeness and their dispersed reverberations.\nSem alterações: In dialogue with the architecture of MAC/CCB\, the show unfolds as a linear sequence of eight moments\, echoing the continuous sliding between screens that defines our digital experience. Its title evokes both the digital cloud where images and data are stored\, and the mist of information\, memory\, and oblivion it produces.

Free participation\, subject to prior booking. \nMANAS: Harm reduction\, artivism\, and the rights of the Manas. Lisbon\, Portugal. From the outset\, MANAS has combined artistic practices with harm-reduction strategies and community health initiatives. Through zine-making workshops\, body-awareness exercises\, storytelling practices\, and collective cooking\, participants have found pathways towards self-expression and political empowerment. At the same time\, harm reduction has remained central to the project’s praxis. At the heart of MANAS lies the principle of “nothing about us without us.” Its mission includes challenging intersectional forms of discrimination based on gender identity\, race\, class\, age\, disability\, and sexual orientation\, whilst building solidarity through a shared political voice. \n  \n Visit to the exhibition \n

SUMMARY:Multiple Eyes
DESCRIPTION:In an era when screens shape our perception of reality and algorithms dictate our preferences\, the works of these artists—fusing the sensory\, the symbolic\, the ancestral\, and the spiritual with the popular\, the carnivalesque\, the magical\, and the abject—propose an alternative: storytelling as an intimate\, porous\, and polyphonic practice. Multiple Eyes brings together three artists from different generations who understand narrative practice as a collaborative and political space. The exhibition invites audiences to view otherness not as threat but as an opportunity for learning\, reflection\, and co-creating knowledge. Challenging singular and binary narratives\, and reclaiming storytelling from systems of control\, these works demonstrate how art can open spaces for dialogue\, empathy\, and the recognition of diverse ways of knowing and imagining the present. \n  \nCurators Nuria Enguita\, Rafael Barber Cortell

SUMMARY:José Pedro Croft
DESCRIPTION:Prints\, drawings\, and reliefs interact with a group of sculptures that occupy the longitudinal axis of the exhibition space. These are the reflections\, enclaves\, and deviations of José Pedro Croft\, one of Portugal’s most acclaimed artists\, presented on Floor 0 of MAC/CCB. The selection for this solo exhibition reflects the artist’s ongoing exploration of body\, scale\, space\, and architecture\, as well as the subtle thresholds between plane and three-dimensionality. The show unfolds along two interlinked lines: on the one hand\, the dialogue between graphic processes\, constructive tradition\, and architectural elements; on the other\, a sculptural rigour that invites the viewer into a slow\, perceptive experience that resists the acceleration of our times. \n  \nCurator Luiz Camillo Osorio \n  \n

SUMMARY:The Disappearing Act
DESCRIPTION:The Disappearing Act is Yinka Esi Graves’ first solo creation. Drawing on her experience as an Afro-Caribbean flamenco dancer\, the artist explores themes of invisibility\, absence\, and representation. On stage\, the figure of La Lala invites audiences into an experience in which camouflage and disappearance become acts of resistance. \nBlending dance\, live music\, text\, and live video\, the performance unfolds as an experimental flamenco work inspired by the tradition of the Ghanaian Concert Party. It features guitarist Raúl Cantizano\, drummer Donna Thompson\, and singer Antonia Fernández\, whose contributions shape an artistic language that moves between flamenco\, jazz\, hip hop\, and improvisation. \nDeveloped through artistic residencies in the United Kingdom\, Spain\, and France\, the work premiered at the 2023 Festival Flamenco de Nîmes and has since been presented at leading festivals and venues including the GREC Festival Barcelona\, the Festival d’Avignon\, Tanz im August in Berlin\, and Chaillot – Théâtre National de la Danse in Paris. In 2024\, it was selected by critic Claire Bishop as one of the ten best performances of the year for Artforum.

SUMMARY:Falsas Histórias Verdadeiras: Uma Pina Colagem
DESCRIPTION:“Grammar is not enough to say everything.”\nManuel António Pina \nAfter its premiere in Porto\, Falsas Histórias Verdadeiras: Uma Pina Colagem toured the country\, passing through Faro and Aveiro\, and now arrives at CCB. \nFalsas Histórias Verdadeiras: Uma Pina Colagem is guided by that “bird in the head\,” drawing on a dramaturgy that embraces all the origins of Pina’s words — theatre\, poetry\, chronicles — and aspires to be for everyone\, giants and little ones alike.\nThe artistic director of Teatro Nacional São João\, Victor Hugo Pontes — a director and choreographer for whom movement intertwined with words is a touchstone — builds an (en)chanted\, acrobatic and composite universe\, set to music by A garota não.\nCelebrating the topsy-turvy world of one of our greatest poets (Camões Prize 2011)\, this performance is rich in humour\, verbal inventiveness and nonsense. It seeks to follow this aim of Pina: “Oh\, to gather the pieces of all books / and un-imagine the world.” \n  \n with audio description on september 11.

SUMMARY:C´est pas là\, C´est par là
DESCRIPTION:C’est Pas Là\, C’est Par Là\, by Compagnie Galmae\, created by Juhyung Lee\, is an interactive work in which audiences are invited to grasp a rope wound around a stone and gradually untangle it by following an elusive pattern. As the threads require participants to move over and under one another\, bodies intersect\, encounters emerge\, and directions are constantly called into question. \nThe installation offers a sensory journey that challenges visitors’ spatial perception and sense of orientation. Through sound\, image\, and interactive devices\, each participant is encouraged to explore\, reinterpret\, and rediscover the space.
