You, Me, Us [O, Hau, Ita; Tu, Eu, Nós]

In 1976, during the Indonesian invasion, the Portuguese Air Force flew Maria Madeira out of Timor. She spent most of the next eight years in a Red Cross refugee camp on the outskirts of Lisbon before her family moved to Australia in 1983. This show brings her work back to that city.

You'll find it in the Galeria Nascente on the ground floor: 34 paintings, drawings, collages and installations about where Timorese ancestral beliefs meet Portuguese culture. Madeira is the granddaughter of Timorese and Portuguese families. The museum points to one place the two already meet: tais, Timor's traditional cloth, which took in embroidery after the Portuguese introduced it. In 2024 she was the first artist to represent Timor-Leste at the Venice Biennale.

No critic has reviewed it yet. One €10 ticket covers every exhibition in the building, entry is free on Fridays from 18:00 to 20:00, and it closes on 13 December. A residency at Hangar and a programme of workshops, talks and visits run alongside it.
