Lúcido Devaneio. Panorama of Portuguese Contemporary Art
20 artists across sculpture, painting, photography, moving image and text. Selected map of most relevant contemporary artistic practices in Portugal.
Lúcido Devaneio – Panorama da Arte Contemporânea Portuguesa ran at the Galeria Municipal do Porto from 12 July to 12 October 2025, curated by Hiuwai Chu and Raphael Fonseca. The exhibition was the result of around a year and a half of research and gathered twenty artists and duos of different generations working in sculpture, painting, photography, moving image and text. Conceived as a selected map of some of the most relevant artistic practices in Portugal today, the show was also framed as a tool for their internationalisation. Admission was free, and the programme included guided visits in Portuguese and English.

"Para ser sincera, esse é um gênero de projeto muito desafiador. Justamente por tratar-se de um panorama, palavra que por si só cria expectativas"
Paula Ferreira · Contemporânea ↗
"uma exposição coletiva que, mais do que apresentar obras, propõe um olhar atento e sensível sobre a diversidade de práticas artísticas em Portugal"
