A city is a complex organism. People with very different cultures, public or residential spaces that have changed over various periods of use, political or social struggles that reflect their tensions in the urban planning and architecture, the natural history of the place, the history of the world and global influences—they all shape the city and the life inhabiting it.
Activities
The CGAC's Activities and Pedagogical Department develops its programme with a primary goal: to bring art to society through the rigorous analysis of critical issues inherent in contemporary artistic activity.
Film seasons and conferences, workshops, seminars and concerts, make up the centre’s fundamental offer of activities, aiming to involve a wide range of audiences from the professional sector of the world of art and culture to an increasingly larger group of artists and fine art and history students, not to mention all those interested in the evolution of art and aesthetic reflection.
At the same time, the CGAC develops specific programmes for schools and colleges as well as guided tours, with the purpose of providing the various groups who come to the museum with the necessary tools to understand contemporary art and, from there, the world we live in.

The exhibition Nalgures highlights the attention Narelle Jubelin (Sidney, Australia, 1960) gives to those realities forgotten by the linearity of official history. With this spirit, she embraces the subalternities of different contexts, her own and those of others, in order to revisit memories that allow us to define our attitudes towards these events.

This summer, the Leisure Workshops will be a body observatory for children.
We’ll explore a CGAC exhibition for each age group over a period of four days per group, accompanied by the stage designer and writer Helena Salgueiro. We’ll focus on the body and how, through art and language, it helps us to observe and discover things about ourselves and also about others.
