KASHMAKASH कश्मकश - Kumudini Hajra, Curated by Nina Fraser

26/8/2025

KASHMAKASH कश्मकश  
Exhibition - Contemporary Printmaking & Photography
Kumudini Hajra
Curator: Nina Fraser
Art Room
Opening: 11th Sep 2025 / 4 - 8pm 
Dates: 12-14th Sep Fri-Sun / 4 - 8pm
Address: Pátio do Tijolo 1 à D. Pedro V, Príncipe Real, Lisboa

"Kashmakash" is a Hindi/Urdu word that translates to "dilemma," "struggle," or "conflict." It signifies a state of being pulled in conflicting directions, experiencing tension, or grappling with opposing forces. Kumudini Hajra reflects upon the serenity she finds from frequent visits to Southern Portugal, documenting water formations through her Macro camera lens, into works that respond to an inner process of becoming. 


EMPTY SPACES BETWEEN LADDERS - through the looking glass

Empty Spaces Between Ladders - Through the looking glass

As part of Marco Fedele di Catrano’s exhibition Empty Spaces Between Ladders, artists Daphne Frühmann and Nina Fraser invite visitors to join a guided tour through his works.

What happens when a contemporary artist enters the in-between spaces of the museum? This tour takes you on an embodied walk through the artworks, offering different lenses that connect art and science. What if we use a mycelial methodology to make sense of how we perceive the space we inhabit? What alternative perspectives might this reveal?

Through prompt questions, participants are encouraged to reflect on the lenses we use in daily life. Together, we’ll reflect on the sculptures and how they inhabit the museum. How do they change how we perceive the museum’s spaces? What new ways of seeing do these artworks suggest? How might a shift in spatial awareness change the way we move through the environment around us?

Guided Visit: 24.07.2025
18h00 (Sala Pedagogica)
Museu Nacional de História Natural e da Ciência, Lisboa

Undomesticated Ground - finissage

Finnissage: UNDOMESTICATED GROUND
Sat 4th Jan 15 - 17h, Travessa do Giestal 45aUndomesticated Ground brings together eight women artists with an artistic practice united through an intimate exploration with the natural environment and its elements. Referencing the book of Stacey Alaimo, of the same title, the ground is thus laid for an investigation of nature as a space for (re)creation, within the intersection of feminist theory, environmentalism, and the concept of nature itself.

Featured artists: Annette Brinckerhoff / Raquel Cardoso / Elmira Katasova / Francesca Faulin /  Nina Fraser / Catarina Nogueira  / Arta Raituma / Franka Struys

Undomesticated Ground - Studio Seco

Studio Seco collective exhibition: Undomesticated Ground
Thurs 5th Dec 18 - 20h 
​

Undomesticated Ground brings together eight women artists with an artistic practice united through an intimate exploration with the natural environment and its elements. Referencing the book of Stacey Alaimo, of the same title, the ground is thus laid for an investigation of nature as a space for (re)creation, within the intersection of feminist theory, environmentalism, and the concept of nature itself.

In her book, Stacey Alaimo critiques representations of nature as a passive, objectified space, often tied to patriarchal systems of domination. The idea of “undomesticated ground” - as of the works featured in this show - challenges the tendency to domesticate and control both nature and women, recasting nature as a feminist space that offers a transformative framework for understanding ecological and social struggles.

Featured artists: Annette Brinckerhoff / Raquel Cardoso / Elmira Katasova / Francesca Faulin /  Nina Fraser / Catarina Nogueira  / Arta Raituma / Franka Struys

Address;  Studio Seco, Travessa do Giestal 45A, Lisbon 1300-277
