The exhibition “Uncharismatic Aliens”, the final component of the conference of the same name held at FLUP, represents the culmination of the exploratory project “Extraterrestrial Posthumanism” (2023.11185.PEX). Works by Stephanie Rothenberg and Kathy High, and by Cosima Herter and Hege Tapio, will be presented. These works attempt to address astrobiology artistically in a realistic manner, showing us the “alien” side of the reality we already know and the plausible nature of new beings we may encounter on other planets.

Venue: Botanical Garden of the University of Porto

Dates: 5–29 June 2026

Curated by Marta Menezes and João Paulo Guimarães
