THIS IS NOT A WHITE CUBE is an international contemporary art gallery, founded in Luanda in 2016 and based in Lisbon, Portugal. Through the representation and collaboration with both national and international artists, whether established or emerging, the gallery presents a program focused on relevant narratives and debates, associated with the European context and the Global South.
With a pioneering spirit of decompartmentalization and inclusion, favoring intercultural dialogues, it 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. The gallery maintains a regular and significant presence at major international art fairs.
