THIS IS NOT A WHITE CUBE is an international contemporary art gallery simultaneously based in Luanda and Lisbon, Portugal. Representing and collaborating with emergent and established artists, the gallery focuses primarily on narratives associated with the African continent and its diaspora. Beyond its deep connection to Africa — and with a pioneering spirit of decompartmentalization and inclusiveness, cheerfully favoring intercultural dialogues — THIS NOT A WHITE CUBE is the first African gallery in Portugal to open its collaborative circle to both local artists and artistic productions from the Global South, including Brazil and non-lusophone African countries.
