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  \n◾ Course An Atlantic Journey through Modern Art\nSaturdays\, October 17 and 31 \, November 7\, 14\, 21 and 28\, 202610:00am to 13:00pm \nWhat possibilities does telling the story of modern art from an Atlantic perspective offer us? Guided by the idea of deviation\, this course brings into the discussion artists\, journeys and intersections that are rarely covered in textbooks but which the exhibition “An Atlantic Drift. The Arts of the 20th Century Based on the Berardo Collection” allows us to explore. Challenging the notion of a single interpretation and championing multiple possibilities for exploration\, the course is delivered in person\, comprising six guided sessions held between the exhibition space and the auditorium. \nCoordination Cristina Gameiro / Conceived and led by Fabrícia Valente\nFee: €95 per participant / Booking deadline: 9 October \n  \nGuided exhibition tours \n

Here I Stand \n→ 7:30pm CCB Plaza Performance Zip Zap Circus School\, by Ângela Ferreira performed by students from the Chapitô Circus School \n\nThe installation Zip Zap Circus School refers to two unrealised projects by modernist architects in different parts of the world: one by Mies van der Rohe in the Netherlands and the other by Pancho Guedes in South Africa. Using these plans and models as the basis for her work\, Ângela Ferreira shows how projects can be adapted to other uses\, contexts\, lives\, and events. The large-scale work is now being installed in the CCB Square in Lisbon\, where it will be activated by students from the Chapitô Circus School. \n  \n→ 8:00pm on Floor 0\nDJ SET by Party Smith \n  \n  \n24 October\n  \n→ 3:00pm on Floor -1\nVisit/conversation with curator Marta Mestre\, Colectivo FACA (Andreia Coutinho and Maribel Mendes Sobreira)\, and Ícaro Lira\, in the context of the exhibition Frida Orupabo. Cloud of Confusion \n  \n→ 5:00pm on Floor -1\n“Discreet Music Series\,” with Nkisi and Gonçalo F. Cardoso / Gonzo. A gathering exploring immersion—in its meditative and sonic dimensions—within the space of the exhibition Frida Orupabo. Cloud of Confusion \n  \nThe Discreet Music Series\, unfolding across four events throughout the year\, brings together eight artists in pairs to create environments conceived as atmospheres of different tonalities\, shaped both by the influences and distinctive characteristics of the artists involved and by the spaces in which the trajectories of their sounds unfold. Created by Lovers & Lillypops\, the project begins at MAC/CCB with the meeting between Nkisi (a DJ\, producer\, and visual artist born in the Congo and raised in Belgium) and Gonçalo F. Cardoso (a travelling musician and sound artist whose practice is closely aligned with artistic research). \n  \n→ 6:00pm at CCB Plaza\nPerformance Zip Zap Circus School\, by Ângela Ferreira performed by students from the Chapitô Circus School \n  \n\n25 October\n→ 3:00pm\, Floor 0\nVisit/conversation with Ângela Ferreira and Nuria Enguita\, in the context of the exhibition Ângela Ferreira. Here I Stand \n→ 4:00pm in the MAC/CCB Auditorium\nPresentation of the catalogues published in 2026 \n→ 5:00pm in the MAC/CCB Auditorium\nThe Temptation of Legibility: The Critical Dimension of Art in the Face of Thematic Conformism. Lecture by António Guerreiro\, introduced by Nuria Enguita \n\nIn many contemporary artworks\, we can discern a strong temptation towards legibility\, as though they were driven by a desire for meaning\, in the manner of a text articulating more or less codified thematic content. This type of art\, which makes its political meaning explicit and expresses a desire to respond critically to the challenges of its time\, is often deeply conformist. Examining these questions entails diagnosing the state of art criticism and the discourses that legitimise contemporary art in many of its most conspicuous materialisations. \n  \n  \n

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◾ Saturday\, September 19 \, at 3:00pm\nTour/talk with curator Marta Mestre\nFree participation. \n  \n◾ TOUR/TALK WITH UNA (BLACK UNION FOR THE ARTS)\, COLECTIVOFACA (ANDREIA COUTINHO AND MARIBEL MENDES SOBREIRA)\, AND ÍCARO LIRA\nSunday\, September 20\, at 4.00 pm\nA conversation between ColectivoFACA\, Ícaro Lira\, and members of UNA exploring image-making and critical visual practices developed by Black practitioners within the European context\, seeking common ground between Portugal and Norway.

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 \n  \nGuided tours \n◾ Sunday\, July 5\, at 11:00am\nFree participation with prior registration at servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt \n

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  \n  \n

SUMMARY:a mind in the heart\, de Ivan Vukosavljević
DESCRIPTION:a mind in the heart (TRPTK\, 2026) marks Joana Gama’s return to solo recording releases following Arcueil (2019). This time\, the impetus comes from an invitation by Serbian composer Ivan Vukosavljević. For Joana Gama\, it was not difficult to be persuaded\, since the piece bears affinities with the works of composers she has performed in recent years\, from Erik Satie to John Cage\, also including Federico Mompou and Hans Otte.\nRegarding the context of the composition\, the composer states: “These eight pieces gradually became companions throughout a chapter of my life marked by many profound transformations. A chapter that culminated in the most significant event of my life so far — the birth of my daughter.” Drawing inspiration from the phrase that gives the cycle its title — with some of the movements also referring to a sermon by Meister Eckhart — Vukosavljević was likewise inspired by Orthodox Christian ethos and the musical heritage surrounding it. \n  \nPre-concert talk by Joana Gama and Ivan Vukosavljević at 7:30 pm. \n  \nEl Corte Inglés supports the CCB’s Classical Music Mediation Programme.

SUMMARY:Héritage
DESCRIPTION:In Héritage\, Cédric Eeckhout brings to the stage his mother\, Jo Libertiaux\, born in 1945. Free-spirited and independent\, Jo forged her own path in a world dominated by men. In her\, Cédric sees a fighter. Driven by a profound love of life\, Jo tells her story while her son reimagines and stages it\, exploring themes such as women’s emancipation and economic\, social\, and political history. \nTheir voices intertwine: that of a divorced woman\, mother of four\, who balanced her work as a hairdresser with raising a family before becoming an actor after retirement; and that of her actor son\, who identifies as queer and reflects on inheritance\, masculinity\, and sexism. \nBlending intimacy\, emotion\, and humour\, mother and son explore what is passed from one generation to the next in a time marked by successive crises—climate\, pandemic\, political\, and social—as well as by enduring forms of racism and sexism. Yet it is precisely through the cracks in a world shaped by colonial and patriarchal traditions that new possibilities begin to emerge. From voices that are fragile\, marginalised\, or too often unheard arises the hope of a different future. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis project was presented with the support of the PROSPERO NEW platform\, co-funded by the European Union through the Creative Europe Programme.
