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.

Conceived by the collective FACA and Ícaro Lira\, with guidance from Andreia C. Coutinho\, Ícaro Lira\, and Maribel Mendes Sobreira\, the project invites us to look at the exhibition far beyond the artworks themselves\, as a living archive in constant transformation. A table—a place of encounter\, conversation\, and collective construction—serves as the central device\, inspired by the Surrealists’ cadavre exquis. Starting from simple questions\, emotions\, memories\, and interpretations are explored. Developed over four moments\, this project creates a space for listening\, sharing\, and collective creation\, grounded in the exhibition and its multiple layers of meaning.. \n  \n  \n Visit to the exhibition \n◾ Sunday\, june 21 and  july 12\, at 11:00am\nFree admission\, subject to prior registration to the email address servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt

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\, May 24 and July 5\, at 11:00am\nFree participation with prior registration at servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt \n

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  \nVisit to the exhibition \n  \n◾ Sunday\, 17 May at 4:00pm\nJosé Pedro Croft guides us through the Reflections\, Enclaves\, Deviations of his work\nFree admission\, subject to prior registration to the email address servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt \n  \n◾ Sunday\, 17 May and 28 June\, at 11:00am\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◾ Cross-cutting\, Tour in English\nAn Atlantic Drift.

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  \n  \n◾ Conversations around earth: Earth in urban contexts\nWednesday\, 17 June\, at 5:00pm at the Architecture Centre\nWhat destiny do we assign to excavated earth in the Portuguese capital? Following on from the “Terras de Lisboa” project\, this conversation establishes connections with international cooperative experiences focused on the valorisation of excavated earth\, placing them in dialogue with the national context. Architects\, builders\, engineers\, and policy-makers examine the logistical\, bureaucratic\, and cultural challenges that hinder circulation and access to this material\, with the aim of exploring viable models for integrating local earth into the construction of the city itself. \nTalk in Portuguese language\, with free admission\, subject to prior registration servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt. \n  \n◾ From conversation to film\nSaturday\, 20 June\, at 3:30pm\nThis double programme begins with a guided visit to the Terra Crua exhibition led by curator Madalena Vidigal and architects Nuno Vasconcelos (DOING) and Tânia Teixeira (CRU). This is followed\, at 5:00 pm\, by a film screening\, also focused on the theme of the ground beneath our feet.\nMAC/CCB auditorium \nIn Portuguese language\, with free admission\, subject to prior registration servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt. \n  \nVisit to the exhibition \n◾ Sunday\, 19 July\, at 11:00am\nFree admission\, subject to prior registration to the email address servico.educativo.museu@ccb.pt

SUMMARY:Exercício de Montagem
DESCRIPTION:Exercício de Montagem is a film in progress that is a performance that is a film that is a performance: an attempt to make sense of something that has been seen and cannot be unseen in that place called Palestine. A performance that rehearses the editing of a film imagined during a trip to Palestine in 2023. \nHow do Palestinians live in the West Bank? And in East Jerusalem? And in ’48? What is their daily life like? Where are they able to move\, and where are they forbidden to go? What is a checkpoint\, and how does it shape these people’s everyday lives? Why did M.\, in a café in East Jerusalem\, ask us to open our eyes because “everything is political”? \nNarrated in two voices — one of them that of the Palestinian artist Tarab طرب — this is just one of the possible editing exercises of a complex and traumatic story\, drawn from the daily lives of women and men of a country that is not recognized as a country. The material comes from three trips to Palestine (between 2023 and 2026) and from the records that resulted from them — images\, sounds\, diaries\, notebooks\, memorabilia — as well as from the profound impact and transformation these journeys had on those who experienced them. \n

SUMMARY:Festival de Histórias Verdadeiras
DESCRIPTION:The Mensagem de Lisboa True Stories Festival brings stories from the city to the stages of the CCB\, told live by the people who lived them. \nPeople from Lisbon share true stories — their own. From a street sweeper who became a children’s author to musicians\, activists\, immigrants and communities shaping the city\, the festival presents diverse voices and experiences through first-person storytelling\, music\, poetry\, theatre and live illustration. \nThe programme also includes stories for younger audiences. This is not theatre. It is live journalism: unrecorded\, unpredictable and grounded in in-depth research and fact-checking. \n  \nFree admission\, subject to room capacity.

SUMMARY:Ministery for The Sensible
DESCRIPTION:Perhaps we need to protect\, organize\, and reclaim what makes us Human. We might use social structures to serve dimensions beyond the functional or profitable\, defending what seems dispensable or useless. A Ministery for the Sensible could uphold sensitivity as a path toward Humanity. \nThis project envisions a shared space for encounter and reflection\, empowering a community of cultural participants who\, with art as an ally\, embrace sensibility as a way to build social and political connections. \n  \nCreation & Coordination Sara Franqueira \n  \nThe project will start with two sectors: the Department of the Spectator and the Institute of the Invisible. Both offer scheduled meetings and access to performances throughout the year. If you’re curious and eager to discover the spectator within you\, one of these groups is ready for you. \n

SUMMARY:The Truth About Lies
DESCRIPTION:Not wanting to be deceived by lies and seeking the truth is the condition in which every human being finds themselves. There is a constant pressure — 24 hours a day\, seven days a week — to escape falsehood and grasp the truth. Typically\, we believe we are on the side of truth and that we speak truthfully. Yet do we not succumb to lies? The contemporary context brings the question of falsehood into focus with almost pandemic intensity. The spread of disinformation — through deepfakes\, algorithms and bots — has become a need that companies such as Cambridge Analytica\, as well as certain states\, have stepped in to fulfil. Disinformation can sway elections and undermine trust in democracy.  This journey of ours explores the intricate relationship between truth\, falsehood and our perception of reality. It examines classical and contemporary philosophical concepts in the complex contexts of both personal and collective life. The effort to understand the effectiveness of lies and the deactivation of truth is not new. It is as ancient as the very emergence of humanity. To overcome the state of denial in which we often find ourselves — especially concerning illusions and self-deceptions — is a necessary condition for the discovery of truth. At times\, we are deceived by lies\, and at other times\, even by truth itself. Yet are we not also responsible for spreading them? And is it not often another who tells us the truths we fail to see in ourselves

SUMMARY:Conference – The Same Nothing in Everything: The Baroque Torsion of the Gaze and the Disenchantment of the World
DESCRIPTION:How can we think about nothingness within the excess we usually associate with the Baroque? Revisiting a common operation of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries\, this lecture proposes a détour through torsion to approach what hides before our eyes — in anamorphosis — in the ingenious works of that period. As Monteverdi wrote\, “there is another point of view to consider\,” and the Baroque allegorical strategy reveals that everything is always something else. Rather than superficial decoration\, the Baroque is approached as a worldview — a way of perceiving and positioning oneself in the theatre of the world — marked by tensions between bodily seduction and spiritual persuasion\, sensuality and transcendence\, revelry and lament\, and between attention to fleeting reality and the desire for the infinite. Might this Baroque rhetoric\, in its refusal of classical order and serenity\, help us comment on the present? \n  \nThis lecture takes place within the context of the concert Da Desordem das Paixões\, by Os Músicos do Tejo and Sofia Dias & Vítor Roriz\, on June 26 and 27\, at 8 pm and 7 pm respectively. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Da Desordem das Paixões
DESCRIPTION:Sexta Maior Cycle – Renaissance Music \nOs Músicos do Tejo and Sofia Dias & Vítor Roriz seek to construct a path seen as if from outside and sensed as right or wrong\, provoking an agitation both interior and exterior\, bringing together music and dance in homage to those who danced to remain alive\, relevant within the state of the nation-state\, decisive in the art of courtly metaphysics\, alone before the eyes of all. \n  \nAs part of this recital\, the conference The Same Nothing in Everything: The Baroque Torsion of the Gaze and the Disenchantment of the World\, by Paulo Pires do Vale\, will take place in Sala Lopes-Graça on June 26 at 6:30 pm. The conference will be spoken in Portuguese without translation. \n  \nEl Corte Inglés supports the CCB’s Classical Music Mediation Programme.

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: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: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◾ 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?

SUMMARY:Metropolitana Big Band Convida… FF
DESCRIPTION:The big band format\, although strongly associated with North American musical traditions—particularly jazz—brings together unique characteristics that have enabled it to encompass a wide range of musical styles and currents. From a crossover perspective\, the range of repertoires it can reach is vast\, and this musical diversity is one of the most valued aspects in contemporary music education\, reflected in pedagogical projects at schools across the world\, particularly in Europe. \nIt is within this context that the Metropolitana Big Band project emerges\, with two main objectives: to provide students with the experience of working on repertoires that differ from those established in curricular programs\, and to enrich students’ development as individuals through contact with this diversity. In the current academic year\, Metropolitana Big Band is one of the offerings included in the training plan of the Escola Profissional da Metropolitana courses. \n  \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Raiz
DESCRIPTION:André Rosinha presents his new album Raiz (2025)\, exploring a fusion between the worlds of jazz\, Portuguese traditional music\, and improvisation. Having organically planted some seeds in the past\, he now focuses on connecting these universes at a compositional level\, without ever losing the freedom of improvisation so characteristic of jazz expression. \nFor this project\, he is joined by the band that has accompanied him on his last two albums: João Paulo Esteves da Silva on piano\, Marcos Cavaleiro on drums\, and André Rosinha himself on double bass. It is a trio that understands and complements each other well\, that recognizes the strengths of each member\, and that leaves space for individual expression—something acknowledged and praised in reviews of Árvore (2019) and Triskel (2022). The pieces were thus composed with these performers in mind and with the aim of uniting these musical worlds\, highlighting the traits that define these artistic expressions while creating a new identity. \nIn an increasingly fast-paced world\, driven by mass-produced\, instant gratification that quickly becomes disposable\, it is more urgent than ever to believe in the value of returning to our roots. \n

SUMMARY:A TRIAL
DESCRIPTION:Thomas Stockmann\, a doctor at a spa in a small town whose economy depends on thermal tourism\, discovers serious contamination in the local waters. He decides to make his findings public\, and the clash between moral duty and economic interests leads the community to brand him “An Enemy of the People.” \nNearly 150 years have passed since Henrik Ibsen wrote this play\, yet its themes have never been more relevant—ecology\, the complex relationship between politics and science\, the role of the press\, fake news\, and discourses oscillating between “freedom of expression” and threats to democracy are now central issues. \nIt was from the desire to bring a public debate on these themes to the stage that the collaboration between Christiane Jatahy and Wagner Moura emerged. \nHowever\, A Trial is not an adaptation of An Enemy of the People\, but an original text that transforms the theatre into a courtroom. A courtroom in which the play’s main characters revisit past events to once again pose the question: is Thomas Stockmann truly an enemy of the people? Do his actions and words represent a threat to democracy? This time\, however\, it is the audience who will judge—and decide.

SUMMARY:Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? by Edward Albee
DESCRIPTION:Two couples in a living room during a long night. Martha and George are the hosts\, in their fifties; Honey and Nick\, considerably younger\, are the guests. As time passes and drinks keep flowing\, the four descend into a demonic spiral of “disillusionment\, betrayal\, fantasy\, and unrestrained desire.” When Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? premiered on Broadway in 1962\, two things happened: the production sparked unprecedented controversy\, and its author\, Edward Albee\, was immediately elevated to the pantheon of great 20th-century American playwrights. Performed countless times around the world\, this masterpiece now arrives on the stage of the CCB in a production directed by Simão do Vale Africano. A devastating yet deeply moving text. A black comedy—highly comic and profoundly dark. As Albee observed: “Sometimes it is necessary to spill blood.”

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:Mike Stern Band
DESCRIPTION:One of the great jazz guitarists of his generation\, Mike Stern has the unique ability to play with the elegance and lyricism of Jim Hall\, the pulsating swing of Wes Montgomery\, and the turbulent\, saturated attack of Jimi Hendrix. Elements of these influences from seminal works can be heard in his playing across the 18 recordings he has released as a leader\, as well as in his acclaimed work as a sideman for Miles Davis\, Billy Cobham\, the Brecker Brothers\, Jaco Pastorius\, Steps Ahead\, David Sanborn\, Blood\, Sweat & Tears\, Joe Henderson\, and the band Four Generations of Miles. \nMike Stern invites us to experience a performance accompanied by a stellar band\, featuring Leni Stern on guitar\, named one of the “50 Sensational Guitarists of All Time” in Guitar Player magazine’s 50th anniversary edition in 2017; the remarkable saxophonist Bob Franceschini; on bass\, he invites Chris Minh Doky\, a world-renowned bassist; and on drums\, the incomparable Dennis Chambers. \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

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
