SUMMARY:Guided Tours to the Centro Cultural de Belém Building
DESCRIPTION:The Centro Cultural de Belém was designed to be a small city within a big city\, Lisbon. Where this building is located and what its relationship is with the surrounding environment\, who designed it\, how it was built and for what purpose\, its materials\, its architecture\, and even what some of the plants in its gardens are. These are some facts that we can discover in these guided tours. Created for schools (general public and university) or for organized groups\, they reveal the history of this building through a route that crosses it\, passing through its three modules: module 1 (Congress and Conference Centre)\, module 2 (Performing Arts Centre) and module 3 (MAC/CCB).

SUMMARY:James Webb There’s No Place Called Home (Belém\, Lisbon)
DESCRIPTION:tuuui trrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr\, by James Webb (1975\, Kimberley\, South Africa)\, operates as two chapters in the same story—There’s No Place Called Home (Belém\, Lisbon) (2025) and Learning from Birds (2025). Most stories have\, at least\, a main character\, a setting\, and a time. The main character of this story is the song of a Woodland Kingfisher (Halcyon senegalensis)\, native to African regions south of the Sahara. The setting from which the birdsong can be heard is a magnolia located in the gardens of the MAC/CCB — Museu de Arte Contemporânea e Centro de Arquitetura (Museum of Contemporary Art and Architecture Centre)\, in Belém\, Lisbon. The other setting of the story is the space of Radio-Gallery Antecâmara\, in the Bairro das Colónias (Colonies’ Neighbourhood)\, in Lisbon\, from which the same bird calls can be heard. The time of the story is now\, 2025\, as well as the colonial times that remain in the public spaces of today. \nThere’s No Place Called Home (Belém\, Lisbon) (2025) is the latest iteration of the series There’s No Place Called Home (2004–). An ongoing intervention with twenty years of existence and approximately sixty unique versions\, it always follows the same methodology: once a tree is selected\, the song of a foreign bird—one that would never be found in that location—is chosen to be broadcast from audio speakers concealed in that tree. Birds and trees have a symbiotic relationship\, where each benefit from the other: birds help disperse seeds\, contributing to tree reproduction and biodiversity; trees\, in turn\, provide birds with shelter\, nesting sites\, and food (Faustino et al\, 2024). The species of trees that can be found everywhere in the planet are deeply rooted in colonial legacies. In (dis)placing a foreign birdsong in a tree\, James Webb is highlighting these colonial legacies. \nEuropean countries have extracted resources from their natural environments as a way of showing their imperial power\, for economic profit\, as well as for aesthetic reasons\, to showcase “exotic” plants in environments where they would never grow. At the same time\, European plants were intentionally introduced into colonised regions mostly for food production and survival\, but also for “aesthetic and nostalgic reasons” (Crosby\, 2004 in Lenzner et al\, 2022:1724). After colonialism\, the reorganisation of global trade intensified and accelerated the introduction of alien species worldwide (Lenzner et al\, 2022:1723).The extraction and displacement of trees disrupt these natural ecosystems\, impacting bird and tree populations\, and ultimately humans: when a tree is placed in a foreign location\, it will attract other species of birds\, which in turn will respond differently to the environment. \nThe birdsong in the Lisbon iteration of There’s No Place Called Home is planted in two settings charged with colonial legacies. The neighbourhood of Belém\, where MAC/CCB is located\, is filled with monuments celebrating the colonial and imperial times of Portugal: Praça do Império (Imperial Square); Belém Tower; Jerónimos Monastery; Monument to the Discoveries; Belém Palace; and the Monument to the Overseas Fighters. In turn\, the practices of colonialism embedded in the landscape are visible not only in the species of plants that can be found in all public parts of these monuments but also in the Tropical Botanical Gardens (formerly named Colonial Gardens)\, with more than 600 foreign species. On the website\, the description of the Gardens reads: “With a strong educational vocation\, with a view to exploring former colonies\, especially in Africa\, [the Garden] was considered an indispensable basis for teaching because a live example is essential for the demonstration to be rigorously scientific and educational” (2025). The use of the term “exploring” in the contexts of colonialism and imperialism is telling. \nThe second chapter of James Webb’s project\, at Radio-Gallery Antecâmara\, is situated in the former Bairro das Colónias (Colonies’ Neighbourhood)\, composed of streets named Angola\, Guiné\, Príncipe Island\, S. Tomé Island\, Macao\, Mozambique\, Timor\, and Zaire\, after former Portuguese colonies. Both urban sites represent an idealised Portuguese national identity after the end of the colonial empire. As Ana Balona de Oliveira reminds\, these sites echo “the grand narrative of the so-called discoveries continues to deny the violent histories and memories of slavery and colonialism. This denialist narrative … remains deeply embedded in celebratory monuments\, many of which were built under the aegis of the Estado Novo dictatorial regime (1926–74)\, while others have been erected much more recently” (2022:229). \nThe incongruous vocalisations of the Woodland Kingfisher are transmitted into Radio-Gallery Antecâmara via an online camera through which they meet the recorded sounds of the natural environment where this species would normally be found. Somehow\, in this room\, the foreign bird is put back into its habitat. Webb does not intend this to be a seamless transition; he is calling attention to the glitch. Birds are a source of inspiration for humans\, possibly because they symbolise\, above all\, freedom\, which is something that both humans and non-humans have been deprived of beyond colonial times. Today\, the area where Radio-Gallery Antecâmara is located is inhabited by more than 45% of the international residents of Lisbon. This neighbourhood has been historically portrayed as a territory of migrants\, associated with crime and poverty\, a portrait that segregates and marginalises its inhabitants. As such\, it embodies the colonial processes that continue to marginalise diasporic communities today\, with the ongoing and growing gentrification processes. Inside the gallery\, the Woodland Kingfisher becomes a sonorous metaphor for Willem Flusser’s notion of freedom\, which he sees possible through the homelessness of the migrant (2003). As the title of James Webb’s series says\, “There’s no place called home.” \nAccompanying the recordings\, Learning from Birds (2025)\, displayed on one of the walls of the gallery\, consists of a collection of photographs\, quotes\, poems\, songs\, drawings\, and other bits of inspiration drawn from how we live with and learn from birds. These sampled and remixed materials translate James Webb’s curiosity and profound approach to sourcing and collecting not only sounds but also images\, texts\, and most notably questions from different disciplinary areas and sources\, reminiscent of the research methods of social scientists but also with the strangeness of mystics. \nThe vast repertoire of birdsong and their settings in the series There’s No Place Called Home invokes complex interconnections between human and non-human species as well as between different times and places. Our ancestors observed birds to divine changing weather\, tune into their calls as safety alarms against predators in the area\, and—like us—project their fantasies of flight and freedom onto them. Rather than Rachel Carson’s vision of a silent world without birdsong and diversity of species (1962)\,the poetic and political messages contained in There’s No Place Called Home leaves us wondering about the coexistence of past and present as well as of humans and non-humans\, and how such coexistence may help us speculate pluralistic futures. \nText and curation by Luísa Santos\nProject in collaboration with Galeria Antecâmara

SUMMARY:Terra Crua
DESCRIPTION:At a time of mounting pressure on the planet’s limits\, we look to raw earth not as a nostalgic return\, but as a natural\, local\, and readily available resource. The exhibition moves from matter to action: from the physical and mineral complexity of soil to accumulated knowledge\, and on to practices that reclaim earth as a viable\, ethical\, and poetic building material. Beginning with the ground beneath our feet\, it invites visitors to rediscover raw earth as matter\, archive\, and agent within contemporary architecture in Portugal. Bringing together scientific and historical material\, prototypes\, and case studies\, as well as collaborative experiments analysing and reusing excavated soil from construction sites across Lisbon\, the exhibition reveals its performance and potential as a circular resource\, while opening up new possibilities for its role in shaping the city. \n  \nCurator Madalena Vidigal \n\nPublic Programme \n  \n◾ Conversation aroun earth: earth continuity\nSunday\, 11 October at 2:00pm at the Architecture Centre  \nWhat legacies have we inherited from earthen architecture and construction\, and how do they shape the way we build and think about this material today? In this conversation\, we revisit the technical\, cultural\, and community legacies that have enabled the persistence and renewal of know-how around this raw material. Drawing on the contributions of architects from different generations\, we reflect on what remains\, what evolves\, and what can still be reactivated to inform the future of earthen architecture and construction. \nKeynote speakers:\nAlexandre Ereira Bastos |  Architect\nJosé Alberto Alegria | and Darquitur-Lda\nPedro Jervell | Atelier Gorvell\nRaquel Morais | Raquel Morais Arquitectura\nRita Campos | At.Arq\nSusana Sequeira |  Architect\nModeration Tânia Teixeira \nConversation in Portuguese.\nFree admission\, advance registration required. \n  \nSunday\, 11 October\, 5pm\nMAC/CCB Auditorium \nScreening of the documentary “Les nouveaux habits de la terre” \nDirected by: François Le Bayon\nProduced by : Lieurac (França) / Nanook (Portugal)\, 2004\nRunning time: 49′ \n\nAudio in French\, with Portuguese subtitles.\nFree admission\, subject to venue capacity. \n

SUMMARY:Mostra Espanha 2026: Guest Works
DESCRIPTION:Every other year\, the opening of Mostra Espanha is marked by a “Guest Work.” In 2026\, however\, the concept becomes plural with the presentation of two works by Maruja Mallo. Both are closely aligned with this edition’s theme\, “Spain in Motion: Diversity and Sustainable Futures\,” and with three of its key strands: art\, culture\, oceans\, and sustainability; art\, ecology\, and climate change; and art\, culture\, borders\, and ruralities. Basuras (1930) and Naturaleza viva (1943) represent two distinct moments in the work of the avant-garde artist\, taking us on a journey from the grey outskirts of pre-war Madrid to the vibrant colours of the Chilean coast at Valparaíso during her years of exile in the Americas.

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:Neïl Beloufa
DESCRIPTION:In 2015\, a survey revealed that a third of Americans supported bombing Agrabah\, the fictional city from Aladdin. Fifteen percent were unsure. A joke\, yes\, but also a sign of the times: the deliberate confusion between fiction and geopolitics. In his first exhibition in Portugal\, the French-Algerian artist Neïl Beloufa transforms MAC/CCB into an interactive environment where visitors engage with objects and experience chapters of a live computer game (a question mark\, a film set in Agrabah\, an archive\, a karaoke\, a bedroom\, military barracks\, and more). Each visitor’s path is recorded through sensor activation or algorithmic control\, turning them into active agents within the exhibition’s fictional narrative. \n  \nCurator Marta Mestre \n  \nWednesday\, December 2 at the MAC/CCB Auditorium\n6:00pm – Talk with the artists Neïl Beloufa and Francisca Carvalho\, and the curators Marta Mestre and Sara De Chiara\n7:00pm – Opening

SUMMARY:Francisca Carvalho
DESCRIPTION:Francisca Carvalho’s work is rooted in the manipulation of symbols and signs drawn from diverse geographies—experiences the artist has absorbed and transformed into collages\, drawings\, patterns\, texts\, paintings\, and textiles. This solo exhibition showcases her complex\, vertiginous narratives\, composed from a blend of multiple sources into a rich and distinctive visual vocabulary. Alongside a broad selection of works on paper\, the show explores research undertaken by the artist in India—particularly in the regions of Rajasthan and Gujarat—where she studied traditional techniques of pattern-making\, natural dyes\, kalamkari\, and hand-block printing\, as well as experimental work with glass. \n  \nCurator Sara De Chiara \n  \nWednesday\, December 2 at the MAC/CCB Auditorium\n6:00pm – Talk with the artists Neïl Beloufa and Francisca Carvalho\, and the curators Marta Mestre and Sara De Chiara\n7:00pm – Opening

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: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
