Como Falar do Trauma?

This exhibition brings together eight contemporary artists from Portugal and Spain (Andalusia), placing them in dialogue in order to explore the marks of the Iberian dictatorships in the present-day lives of women. The works displayed approach the intergenerational impact of political oppression, as well as the dynamics between memory, post-memory and counter-narration. From a critical perspective, these works question the cultural and historical amnesia that frequently silences the traumatic experiences of marginalised subjectivities.

More than just a portrayal of pain, Como Falar do Trauma? | How Do We Talk about Trauma? invites the public to cross the boundaries between the visible and the veiled, the narrated and the forgotten, promoting poetic reflection and political consideration on how to face the legacies of the past and the possibility of reimagining futures.

Tuesday to Sunday, 10 am - 1 pm and 2 pm - 6 pm.
