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.

Free participation, subject to prior booking.<\/p>\n MANAS: Harm reduction, artivism, and the rights of the Manas. Lisbon, Portugal<\/strong>. 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 \u201cnothing about us without us.\u201d 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.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Reading and Listening Room<\/strong> Located at the end of the exhibition, this room hosts regular activations and offers visitors access to bibliographic material and editorial projects related to Frida\u00a0Orupabo\u2019s\u00a0referential universe.<\/span> <\/p>\n \u00a0Visit to the exhibition<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n \u25fe <\/strong>Saturday, september 19 , at 03:00pm 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.
