Phantom Limb, de Maria Palma, Tatyana Cristina e Nadya Ismail

The "Phantom Limb" exhibition brings together works by Maria Palma, Tatyana Cristina, and Nadya Ismail. It focuses on the image as a space for appearance, absence, and vestiges, using the butterfly as a symbol for its transient nature.

The exhibition explores the historical construction of the feminine based on lack and absence, highlighting hysteria and other forms of pathologization of women's experiences. It aims to create a 'punctum' in the observer, bringing subliminal pain to the surface for care and repair.

The works by Maria Palma, Tatyana Cristina, and Nadya Ismail inhabit a liminal space, allowing for new ways of seeing and recognizing invisible scars. The exhibition opens on September 19, 2026, at 16:00, and runs until November 7, 2026, at Helena Rodrigues Galeria. Visiting hours are Wednesday to Saturday, from 15:00 to 19:00.
