MUPI Gallery


As imagens apresentadas na MUPI Gallery são um desdobramento do projeto de vídeo “True Black” que parte da árvore do Pau-Campeche (Haemotoxylin Campechianum), originária da América Central, cujas propriedades tintoriais traçaram uma história colonial entre a cultura pré-hispânica Maia do sul do México (Península de Yucatán) e a Europa, em particular a Espanha.


Nos séculos XVI e XVII, o corante resultante da árvore do Pau-Campeche foi utilizado como a principal fonte de corante preto nos têxteis da Europa sobretudo no contexto da corte espanhola, tornando-se assim um produto de grande relevância cultural, social, económica e política. 


Partindo do material museológico de algumas pinturas da Coleção do Museu do Prado nas quais as figuras da burguesia eram representadas de negro como símbolo de poder, as imagens aqui apresentadas propõe um olhar crítico sobre as narrativas comuns e a memória coletiva gerada pela história deste elemento botânico, como forma de compreender as identidades culturais. Procura revelar e trabalhar artisticamente a diáspora da cor negra do Pau-Campeche, explorando os seus múltiplos significados e sentidos: a alteridade, o exotismo, a excentricidade, o desconhecido, o desejo, mas também a apropriação, a soberania e o poder.

MUPI Gallery

MUPI Gallery is a dedicated image gallery that was inaugurated in May 2015 in the foyer of the performance hall at Maus Hábitos. Since then, it has been hosting a diverse program of individual exhibitions by local and international artists in different states of emergence.


The primary objectives of Mupi Gallery are to support the creation of new works and visual experiences while promoting the artistic journey of the invited artists. It challenges them to present a new solo artwork that takes advantage of the unique characteristics and prominent display format. Additionally, it aims to showcase the national contemporary art scene by introducing the solid work of local artists as well as emerging names in the visual arts.

As a gallery dedicated to individual exhibitions, Mupi Gallery complements the artistic programming of Saco Azul/Maus Hábitos. It provides a contrast to the exhibition hall's program, which focuses on artistic encounters and dialogue through collective and crossover exhibitions.


Saco Azul invites one artist per month to occupy the backlit triptych, promoting the creation of works that utilize images as a means of contemporary artistic expression. Through production grants, it affirms or questions the role of images in the present day. Comprising three urban advertising communication Mupis provided by JcDecaux to Maus Hábitos, this gallery is not only interesting for its physical characteristics but also for its cultural impact and inherent commercial connotation. The artist is challenged to react or interact with this structure, embracing all its capabilities and connotations.
