MAC/CCB Museum of Contemporary Art and Architecture Centre

Raw Earth

This Architecture Centre exhibition follows raw earth from material and archive to present-day architectural practice in Portugal. Scientific, historical, and collaborative installations show how excavated soil can become an ethical and poetic building resource.

José Pedro Croft

Reflections, Enclaves, Deviations

Prints, drawings, reliefs, and sculptures set up a measured dialogue around body, scale, space, and architecture. The solo show moves between graphic processes and sculptural precision, inviting a slower, close-looking visit.

Frida Orupabo

Cloud of Confusion

In her first solo exhibition in Portugal, Frida Orupabo turns an image archive of colonial material, family photographs, pop culture, and digital fragments into a sequence of eight moments. The show explores how images carry intimacy, violence, memory, and disorientation in the digital age.

Multiple Eyes

Patricia Domínguez, Ines Doujak, Lubaina Himid

This group exhibition brings together Patricia Domínguez, Ines Doujak, and Lubaina Himid around storytelling as a shared political and imaginative practice. The works push back against singular narratives and open space for dialogue, empathy, and different ways of knowing.

James Webb

There's No Place Called Home (Belém, Lisbon)

This site-specific sound installation places the call of a Woodland Kingfisher in the MAC/CCB gardens, linking Belém's public landscape with colonial histories and migration. It forms one chapter of James Webb's ongoing There's No Place Called Home series.

Ângela Ferreira

Here I Stand

This survey follows Ângela Ferreira from early 1990s works to recent installations, videos, photographs, and sculptures. It centers her long-running research into colonial infrastructures, historical memory, and forms of resistance.

Francisca Carvalho

Kouroi al cora

Francisca Carvalho's solo exhibition builds a dense visual language from collages, drawings, patterns, textiles, paintings, and works on paper. It also brings in research from Rajasthan and Gujarat on natural dyes, pattern-making, kalamkari, hand-block printing, and experiments with glass.

Neïl Beloufa

In his first exhibition in Portugal, Neïl Beloufa turns the museum into an interactive environment shaped like chapters of a live computer game. Visitors move through objects, sets, and sensor-driven situations that blur fiction, geopolitics, and participation.

Marisol

When Things are Just Beginning

This retrospective focuses on the drawings of Marisol Escobar, shown alongside sculptures, archival material, and Andy Warhol films. It frames drawing as the thread that carried her political concerns, unease, and imaginative fiction across decades.
