Catarina Serra: Máscaras Que Somos

The exhibition "Máscaras Que Somos" at the Museu de Lisboa - Teatro Romano explores the enduring significance of masks in classical theatre and everyday life. The show features six ceramic masks crafted by artist Catarina Serra, each made from red clay sourced locally in Miranda do Corvo.

These masks function as self-portraits, each representing a different facet of the artist's identity. Serra describes them as "the women she learned to be"—a deeply personal reflection on the roles we adopt. The display is set within the historic Roman Theatre museum, adding layers of ancient and contemporary dialogue.

Visitors can view the works Tuesday through Sunday, with the exhibition running from early July to early September. It's a thoughtful stop for those interested in contemporary ceramics, portraiture, or the intersection of classical heritage and modern art.
