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 \u201cabyss\u201d of images\u2014their strangeness and their dispersed reverberations.
\nSem altera\u00e7\u00f5es: 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.

\n<\/em><\/strong>Departing from the idea that the museum is inhabited by many bodies, experiences, and forms of knowledge, this project gives voice to people who rarely form part of its institutional discourse: CCB workers and visitors who do not always recognise themselves in artistic languages or have opportunities to be heard. Conceived by the collective FACA and \u00cdcaro Lira, with guidance from Andreia C. Coutinho, \u00cdcaro 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\u2014a place of encounter, conversation, and collective construction\u2014serves as the central device, inspired by the Surrealists\u2019 cadavre exquis<\/em>. 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..<\/p>\n
