MAC/CCB

José Pedro Croft

Reflections, Enclaves, Deviations

Prints, drawings and reliefs meet a sequence of sculptures in a solo show that tracks Croft's sustained attention to body, scale, space and architecture. The route invites a slow look at the threshold between flat surface, built element and three-dimensional form.

Raw Earth

This Architecture Centre exhibition looks at earth as a viable, ethical and poetic building material in contemporary Portugal. Scientific and historical content, prototypes and case studies link soil, local knowledge and urban reuse with a wider conversation about sustainable construction.

Multiple Eyes

Patricia Domínguez, Ines Doujak, Lubaina Himid

This group exhibition brings together Patricia Domínguez, Ines Doujak and Lubaina Himid, treating storytelling as a collaborative and political practice. Sensitive, symbolic and carnivalesque visual worlds are used to challenge singular narratives and open space for dialogue, empathy and shared knowledge.

Frida Orupabo

Cloud of Confusion

In her first solo exhibition in Portugal, Frida Orupabo revisits an image archive built from colonial records, ethnographic photographs, family pictures and digital fragments. The exhibition uses that flow of images to explore the tension between intimacy and violence in an eight-part route shaped around the museum's architecture.

James Webb

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

This site-specific installation places the recorded call of a woodland kingfisher in a magnolia tree by the museum entrance, linking Belém's landscape to colonial histories and migration. The work forms part of Webb's long-running There's No Place Called Home series and unfolds through sound, place and historical dissonance.

Ângela Ferreira

Here I Stand

Spanning works from the 1990s to the present, this exhibition traces Ângela Ferreira's research into colonialism, architecture and resistance. Installation, video, photography and sculpture reveal how colonial infrastructures and narratives continue to shape the present.

Neïl Beloufa

In his first exhibition in Portugal, Neïl Beloufa turns MAC/CCB into an interactive environment where visitors move through objects and live computer-game scenes. The project plays with the deliberate confusion between fiction and geopolitics while making the visitor an active part of the narrative.

Francisca Carvalho

Kouroi al cora

This solo exhibition presents Francisca Carvalho's dense visual language of collages, drawings, patterns, texts, paintings and textiles. It also draws on her research in Rajasthan and Gujarat, especially traditional pattern-making, natural dyes, kalamkari, hand-block printing and experiments with glass.

Marisol

When Things are Just Beginning

This retrospective centers on the drawings of Marisol Escobar, bringing together more than one hundred works from the 1950s onward alongside sculptures, archival material and Andy Warhol films. The show frames drawing as the thread that connects her social concerns, personal tension and imaginative fictions.
