Estamos muito felizes por anunciar a publicação de A Vontade de Mudar, de bell hooks, pela Orfeu Negro, no âmbito da nossa parceria para a publicação de obras em português nas áreas da teoria cultural, feminista e pós-colonial.

Uma das primeiras obras feministas a refletir sobre a «crise da masculinidade», A Vontade de Mudar propõe uma visão transformadora das relações entre homens e mulheres e das formas de viver o amor, a intimidade e o cuidado.

KABSH QRUNFOL, WEARING CLOVES ⏐ Solo Exhibition by Mirna Bamieh

Curated by Jule Kurbjeweit

・Opening: 25th of June, 6pm
・At Hangar

In some parts of Palestine, before a bride leaves her family home, the women of her community come together to make her a necklace of cloves, as part of a henna gathering: a pre-wedding celebration for the bride that weaves together making, music, and ceremony. The necklace contains an enclosed prayer, a beaded lantern symbolising the light that the bride will carry into her future, and cloves – historically prized as the "gold of spices" for their medicinal and preservative qualities. Bearing these various blessings, the necklace becomes a keepsake woven with protection, prosperity, and the collective wish for a flourishing life. This tradition, in the process of disappearing, is at the heart of Mirna Bamieh’s new installation, opening at HANGAR (Lisbon) on 25 June.

"Kabsh Qrunfol, Wearing Cloves" comprises a large suspended ceramic sculpture, paintings, and a film shot in Palestine that follows women as they come together through shared labour and singing, stringing the bride’s necklace. The ceramic sculpture reimagines the bridal necklace, transposing it into a larger-than-life composition. Rather than a literal representation, it shifts scale, material, and structure while retaining the form’s ceremonial presence. Echoing devotional bead necklaces found across different religions, the work also gestures toward the necklace as an object of repeated prayer, a dimension echoed in the songs of its making, which include repeated calls.

・From: June 25 to September 5, 2026
・Open: Wed-Sat, 3pm-7pm
・Location: Rua Damasceno Monteiro 12, 1170-017 Lisbon

EXHIBITION MAFOLOFOLO
by MADEYOULOOK
Curated by Margarida Mendes

The exhibition "Mafolofolo", by the collective MADEYOULOOK (Molemo Moiloa and Nare Mokgotho) from South Africa, curated by Margarida Mendes.
LAST DAYS: EXTENDED UNTIL JUNE 5th

“Mafolofolo” is a sound installation that emerges from seven years of research in the northern part of South Africa. The collective has sought to understand the multiple cycles of loss and subsequent cycles of return related to the land, concerned with the deep and enduring relationships with the land that remain, despite the longue durée of South Africa’s turbulent and destabilizing existence. They narrate the particular history of this place and its the potential to seek intimacy, spiritual security, and interdependence with the land and more-than-human life. Through it, they encounter a trajectory of repair for the lands from which they find sustenance.

“Mafolofolo” offers strategies for recovery, through the historical tracking in the sound installation that references popular African resistance songs for liberation, particularly of the land, against the oppression. It traces a history of violence, racism, extraction, and ongoing dispossession with very real contemporary urgencies, while offering an opportunity for different imaginaries of relation with the land.

MADEYOULOOK collective has exhibited, published, and organized programs in various contexts, including the South African Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2024. The installation “Mafolofolo” exhibited at Hangar is an iteration of a commission from documenta fifteen, curated by ruangrupa.

Open Wednesday to Saturday from 3 PM to 7 PM
