Contemporânea

Francisca Portugal (Lisbon, Portugal). She is an independent curator and writer. Her practice explores contemporary notions of friendship and empathy. She creates spaces for experimentation, dialogue, and exchange, with a strong emphasis on informal networks and collaborative processes. With an interdisciplinary background in Arts and Humanities, Portugal investigates how friendship intersects with curatorial practices, resulting in a diverse body of work encompassing solo and group exhibitions, public programs, and lectures in independent and institutional contexts. Currently, she focuses on research into archival methodologies, with particular attention to oral history.
