KABSH QRUNFOL, WEARING CLOVES ⏐ Solo Exhibition by Mirna Bamieh

Curated by Jule Kurbjeweit

・Opening: 25th of June, 6pm
・At Hangar

In some parts of Palestine, before a bride leaves her family home, the women of her community come together to make her a necklace of cloves, as part of a henna gathering: a pre-wedding celebration for the bride that weaves together making, music, and ceremony. The necklace contains an enclosed prayer, a beaded lantern symbolising the light that the bride will carry into her future, and cloves – historically prized as the "gold of spices" for their medicinal and preservative qualities. Bearing these various blessings, the necklace becomes a keepsake woven with protection, prosperity, and the collective wish for a flourishing life. This tradition, in the process of disappearing, is at the heart of Mirna Bamieh’s new installation, opening at HANGAR (Lisbon) on 25 June.

"Kabsh Qrunfol, Wearing Cloves" comprises a large suspended ceramic sculpture, paintings, and a film shot in Palestine that follows women as they come together through shared labour and singing, stringing the bride’s necklace. The ceramic sculpture reimagines the bridal necklace, transposing it into a larger-than-life composition. Rather than a literal representation, it shifts scale, material, and structure while retaining the form’s ceremonial presence. Echoing devotional bead necklaces found across different religions, the work also gestures toward the necklace as an object of repeated prayer, a dimension echoed in the songs of its making, which include repeated calls.

・From: June 25 to September 5, 2026
・Open: Wed-Sat, 3pm-7pm
・Location: Rua Damasceno Monteiro 12, 1170-017 Lisbon

EXHIBITION MAFOLOFOLO
by MADEYOULOOK
Curated by Margarida Mendes

The exhibition "Mafolofolo", by the collective MADEYOULOOK (Molemo Moiloa and Nare Mokgotho) from South Africa, curated by Margarida Mendes.
LAST DAYS: EXTENDED UNTIL JUNE 5th

“Mafolofolo” is a sound installation that emerges from seven years of research in the northern part of South Africa. The collective has sought to understand the multiple cycles of loss and subsequent cycles of return related to the land, concerned with the deep and enduring relationships with the land that remain, despite the longue durée of South Africa’s turbulent and destabilizing existence. They narrate the particular history of this place and its the potential to seek intimacy, spiritual security, and interdependence with the land and more-than-human life. Through it, they encounter a trajectory of repair for the lands from which they find sustenance.

“Mafolofolo” offers strategies for recovery, through the historical tracking in the sound installation that references popular African resistance songs for liberation, particularly of the land, against the oppression. It traces a history of violence, racism, extraction, and ongoing dispossession with very real contemporary urgencies, while offering an opportunity for different imaginaries of relation with the land.

MADEYOULOOK collective has exhibited, published, and organized programs in various contexts, including the South African Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2024. The installation “Mafolofolo” exhibited at Hangar is an iteration of a commission from documenta fifteen, curated by ruangrupa.

Open Wednesday to Saturday from 3 PM to 7 PM

LONGITUDES RESIDENCIES
Artist in Residency | Garrett Obrycki

Garrett Obrycki’s life and interdisciplinary career are driven by an ongoing exploration of how people create, learn, connect, and repair. Raised in a conservative, evangelical environment where his queerness clashed with absolute certainties, Obrycki turned to deep questioning as both a refuge and a guide, eventually allowing those questions to dictate the path of his professional journey.
His initial pursuit of how people create led him to the Eastman School of Music, resulting in a decade-long national career as an opera singer and collaborative artist. Seeking to understand how people learn, lead, and think together, he later transitioned to the Harvard Graduate School of Education and the Harvard Kennedy School. This shift propelled him into producing civic and arts projects across the United States, Europe, and Central America.
Obrycki applied this expertise as the Creative Lab Director for the Grammy-winning ensemble Eighth Blackbird, where he developed artistic residencies at the Yerkes Observatory. He also co-founded qima, a consulting practice that helps executive leaders design complex initiatives combining systems thinking, community connection, and the arts.
Now training as a clinical social worker in Minneapolis, Obrycki's focus increasingly centers on questions of breakdown, care, psychosis, institutional life, and relational repair in an era of fragmentation and accelerating complexity. His particular interests lie in group process, therapeutic presence, systems dynamics, and the fragile human conditions that make collaboration, meaning-making, and repair possible.
Across mediums including sound, facilitation, writing, research, watercolor, and participatory performance, Obrycki continually returns to a small, vital constellation of questions:
- How do people create?
- How do people learn?
- How do groups hold together?
- What happens when systems break down?
- How do we repair?

LONGITUDES RESIDENCIES
Artist in Residency | Mark Miller

Mark Miller is a London-based multidisciplinary artist whose work explores the intersections between the rural Jamaican experience and British urban culture. Working across various disciplines and mediums, with a focus on sound, drawing, and the moving image, his work addresses themes such as diaspora, folklore, memory, and Black British culture. Using an "assemblage" methodology, his work questions how cultural artifacts, data, technology, and visual codes shape collective and individual presence.
Miller's music and sound art are shaped by bass culture, world-building, and imagined narratives, as well as urban, architectural, and natural soundscapes. Influenced by Trip Hop, Reggae, Jamaican sound systems, Drum and Bass, and experimental Electronica, his work explores the physical, symbolic, and cultural significance of frequencies. By centering on bass and geography, Miller uses sound as a tool for memory-making, documentation, and transformation.
