Sábado, November 15, starting at 5pm
Opening: Mariana Caló and Francisco Queimadela
For over fifteen years, Mariana Caló and Francisco Queimadela have been exploring film and video, in dialogue with photography, drawing and sculpture. State of spirit is the most comprehensive presentation of the duo’s work to date, bringing together a wide selection of existing pieces alongside new, previously unseen works. Its guiding thread is the idea of community, understood as a dialogue between culture and nature. Through images that shift between light and shadow, like fables reflecting the fleeting and transitory nature of life, social dynamics emerge—beliefs, habits and rituals linked to the seasons, rural labour, family life, and ancestral forms of orality and spirituality.In an immersive, dreamlike atmosphere that captures the magic inherent in both the lived and imagined possibilities of everyday life, the exhibition unfolds as a stage where acts of devotion, memory and pleasure are performed.Floor 0.

Opening: Kiluanji Kia Henda, with Flávio Cardoso, Lilianne Kiame, Raul Jorge Gourgel
Recursions: a cartography of unfinished grounds centres on the dialogue between the work of Kiluanji Kia Henda and three Angolan artists—Flávio Cardoso, Lilianne Kiame andRaul Jorge Gourgel—, in order to reflect on the promises, failures, and ruins of modernity. The exhibition is structured around the idea of recursion: an organic process of return thatencompasses both past and present, marked by recurrent, unfinished, and constantly shifting movements. With strong ties to territory and landscape, the works trace cycles of memoryand speculation, proposing Angola as a living archive of collective imagination.Through different languages such as photography, painting, installation, video, and performance Recursions offers a map that analyses the current impact of colonial legacies. Moving beyond fixed historical narratives, the exhibition presents itself as a provisional compass, locating a territory with unstable contours from which new horizons may emerge.Floor 1

Opening: Elvira Leite
With a career spanning more than six decades, Elvira Leite is not only a key figure in the reinvention of art education in Portugal, but also a prolific artist. Organised in two parts, the exhibition Learning to teach, teaching to learn with Elvira Leite brings to the institutional space both a presentation of rarely seen paintings and a recreation of the artist’s studio.The first part brings together her early career works in dialogue with a selection of recent, previously unseen pieces that move between figuration and abstraction. The second part transforms the gallery into a space where one can ‘play’ with the geometries, shapes and drawings from her gamebooks, while also offering the chance to explore her archive of letters, photographs and objects. By inviting an encounter with this hybrid practice, Learning to teach, teaching to learn is na invitation to discover the unique universe of this artist and educator.Floor -1
