Personae: Identity in Contemporary Photography

Curated by Alexandra Conde, the exhibition 'Personae' brings together works by internationally renowned artists such as Cindy Sherman, ORLAN, Marina Abramović, Erwin Olaf, Jane and Louise Wilson, Hannah Starkey, Helena Almeida, and Nikki S. Lee. The show explores the construction of identity in contemporary artistic practice, with a particular focus on appropriation as a tool for identity building and the deconstruction of social stereotypes.

Held at the Coleção de Fotografia do Novo Banco in Lisbon, the exhibition offers a deep dive into how photographers and visual artists use self-representation and borrowed imagery to question who we are. Visitors can expect a thought-provoking journey through staged portraits, performative self-images, and conceptual works that challenge conventional notions of selfhood.

With its rich lineup of international artists, 'Personae' is a must-see for anyone interested in photography, contemporary art, and the ever-evolving conversation around identity. The venue's central location at Praça Marquês de Pombal makes it easily accessible for a cultural afternoon in the heart of Lisbon.
