Guided tours Miriam Cahn – What looks at us

As part of the exhibition Miriam Cahn – What looks at us, MAAT is offering two guided tours led by Sérgio Mah (deputy director of the museum) and João Pinharanda (artistic director of the museum). These sessions present the public with the opportunity to engage more deeply with an oeuvre that places the body, fragility, pain and resilience at the centre of the aesthetic and political experience.

Notice: This exhibition contains works with content that may offend the sensitivities of some visitors.

Tour with the curator Sérgio Mah

Date: 12/07

Schedule: 19:00 - 20.00

Target:  Adults

Capacity: 28 people

Language: Portuguese

Meeting point: Ticket office, at the entrance to MAAT Central

In this session, the curator invites the public to become better acquainted with the expressive and emotional universe of the artist, whose practice summons the body as a space of conflict, memory and resistance. The proposed itinerary focuses on the main conceptual lines of the exhibition, addressing themes such as war, violence, gender and fragility.

A moment of sharing and reflective thought on a body of work that defies aesthetic and ethical conventions.

Tour with the curator João Pinharanda

Date: 06/09

Schedule: 18:00 - 19.00

Target:  Adults

Capacity: 28 people

Language: Portuguese

Meeting point: Ticket office, at the entrance to MAAT Central

João Pinharanda offers a personal and contextualised reading of the artist's work, drawing on his experience as a curator and his profound knowledge of contemporary art. This session proposes a critical reflection on Cahn's visual imagery and the issues it raises: the exposed body, trauma, intimacy, and politics.

It invites attention and reflective thought, based on an oeuvre that seeks not to appease, but to disturb and make us see with a new intensity.
