THIS IS NOT A WHITE CUBE is an international contemporary art gallery based in 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.
Please note that the gallery will be closed from 2 August to 24 September for holidays, renovation, and maintenance.
We will reopen on 25 September with the opening of the solo exhibition by artist Sanjo Lawal.
We look forward to welcoming you back then!
