MUNCH

Power and vulnerability, desire and anger – Paula Rego explored it all with a striking mix of humour and gravity.

In this documentary, meet MUNCH curator Kari Brandtzæg, travelling across Europe to bring together works for this major exhibition.

📽️ Go behind the scenes – from Rego’s studio and Cristea Roberts Gallery in London, to Galeria 111 and Casa das Histórias Paula Rego in Lisboa.

These journeys trace the roots of Rego’s practice. Raised in Portugal under dictatorship, her work draws on lived experience and fairy tales – often revealing darker sides of human nature.
