THIS IS NOT A WHITE CUBE is a contemporary art gallery with spaces in Luanda (Angola) and Lisbon (Portugal), acting as a vibrant platform for artistic practices rooted in Africa, its diaspora, and the Global South. Founded in 2016 by Sónia Ribeiro, the gallery quickly became a key voice in Angola’s art scene and expanded to Lisbon in 2019, reinforcing its mission to foster dialogue between geographies and histories.

Representing both emerging and established artists, the gallery supports work that challenges dominant narratives and opens space for new imaginaries. Its curatorial programme embraces diverse aesthetic languages, extending beyond Lusophone contexts to engage with broader global dynamics.

Led by Sónia Ribeiro, Graça Rodrigues (Curator), and Ngoi Salucombo (Executive Director, Angola), the gallery promotes collaboration, research, and experimentation — notably through its non-profit platform O CUBO, launched in 2019.

With a regular presence at major international art fairs, THIS IS NOT A WHITE CUBE affirms itself as a space of visibility and transformation — where contemporary art becomes a tool for connection, resistance, and reinvention.
