On 25 September, National Sustainability Day, the artist opens Em Suspensão, an exhibition bringing together recent works that investigate clothing as a political body, an archive of memories and a critical device, articulating environmental, social and identity issues. The opening takes on an additional symbolic dimension by taking place at a singular moment in the institution's history. Although the Museu Nacional do Traje remains temporarily closed for rehabilitation works, the exhibition will be open to the public, reaffirming that a museum's mission goes beyond its buildings and is fulfilled in the continuity of access to culture, critical thinking and the encounter between art and society. The exhibition takes a stance against an economic model based on overproduction, exploitation of resources and disposability. By transforming rejected clothes into sculptures and installations, Tales Frey questions the fate of fabrics and the relationships between consumption, body, memory and citizenship. The programme also includes the lecture "Indumento Performativo: corpo, memória e resistência na arte contemporânea", held on National Sustainability Day itself. Spanning twenty years of artistic production, Frey presents the concept of "indumento performativo" and discusses clothing as a symbolic extension of the body, a political device and a tool for social participation. Tuesday to Sunday, from 10h to 13h/14h to 18h. sculpture installation.
