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

SUMMARY:Ângela Ferreira
DESCRIPTION:The practice of Ângela Ferreira\, a central figure in Portuguese contemporary art\, spans installation\, video\, photography\, and sculpture. Born in Maputo ( Mozambique) and trained in sculpture at the University of Cape Town during the apartheid era\, her biography is deeply interwoven with the themes that traverse her work. Her exhibition at MAC/CCB follows a trajectory from her early pieces of the 1990s to her most recent creations\, revealing her sustained research into the facts\, infrastructures\, figures\, and architectures linked to colonialism. Ferreira’s projects both comment on and update the enduring effects of colonial history while foregrounding the modes of resistance that persist in response. She is recognised as one of the first artists in Portugal to openly confront and question the nation’s colonial past. \n  \nCurator Nuria Enguita \n  \nPublic Programmes \n◾ Exhibition Tour/Conversation with Ângela Ferreira and Nuria Enguita\nSunday\, october 25 at 3:00pm \n  \nExhibition Tour \n◾ Sunday\, november 8\, january 24\, at 11:00am\nFree admission\, subject to prior registration to the email address servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt \n  \n◾ Visit to Ângela Ferreira’s studio\nSaturday\, february 20\, at 11:00am\nFree admission\, subject to prior registration to the email address servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt \n  \n◾ Guided Tour with artist Ângela Ferreira\nSaturday\, February 27 at 4:00pm\nFree admission\, subject to prior registration to the email address servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt

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: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:Sérgio Godinho em 80 Canções (Sérgio Godinho through 80 Songs)
DESCRIPTION:Eighteen albums of original songs released over the course of almost half a century\, comprising nearly two hundred songs. A singular presence and an enduring influence. A body of writing as unmistakable as it is multifaceted. An intense life on stage\, where songs are continually reimagined—often in radical ways—for new audiences. A lasting commitment to the work of fellow songwriters\, shaped by a perspective that brings together artistic maturity and the elixir of eternal youth. More than eighty years into a rich and remarkable life\, this is a celebration of Sérgio Godinho through eighty songs.

SUMMARY:Limbo
DESCRIPTION:PDL 26 Capital Europeia da Cultura \nIntegrated into the programme of PDL26 — Capital Portuguesa da Cultura\, with artistic direction\, choreography\, staging and musical selection by Milagres Paz\, Limbo is a performance that brings dance\, music and the spoken word into dialogue\, portraying the state of today’s world\, where war\, artificiality\, globalisation\, loneliness and isolation\, violence\, and the absence of empathy and love for the other — the locus of difference — enable the development of (non-)human societies\, alike in their architecture\, their abandonment of nature and the robotisation of ways of thinking\, attitudes and automated behaviours that reveal abilities increasingly removed from the individual path towards knowledge\, wisdom and creativity.\nThese are the new forms of human servitude\, making each of us an inhabitant of a «non-place»\, as defined by Marc Augé. What\, then\, is left to us but limbo\, that space between individuality and automation\, between war and armistice\, between agony and jubilation? With our senses\, feelings\, words and movements paralysed\, all that remains is life suspended between the past we know and a future we fear. In this performance\, the ambivalence between hope and disbelief\, together with our shared powerlessness\, has a name: limbo. It is our condition. — Ângela de Almeida \n
