The Reluctant Narrator

Grouping together a series of works in which the personal, the historical, the biographical and the social intersect, The Reluctant Narrator attempts to sketch out not just the paths followed by narrative practices in various media but also the fragile and fragmentary nature of all narration.
Co-published by the Museu Coleção Berardo and Sternberg Press, The Reluctant Narrator’s exhibition catalogue includes contributions from all participating artists as well as essays by Erika Balsom, Sladja Blazan, Kerstin Stakemeier, and Ana Teixeira Pinto. The book has two versions, one in Portuguese (available at the museum's store) and the other in English, distributed internationally (sold out at the museum's store).
