As part of CFA’s 2026 Gallery Residency Programme, Elizabeth Xi Bauer (London) and CFALive (Conceptual Fine Arts, Milan) present No Hay Banda, a group exhibition featuring work by Brazilian ceramicist Vandria Borari (b. 1983), Slovak multimedia artist Petra Feriancová (b. 1977), Finnish painter Karoliina Hellberg (b. 1987), and Italian artist Sofia Silva (b. 1990).
Developed within CFA’s residency format, the exhibition is presented by Elizabeth Xi Bauer and curated by Maria do Carmo M. P. de Pontes. No Hay Banda brings together four practices that approach silence not as absence, but as a generative and resistant creative condition. Spanning ceramics, painting, and photography, the works emerge from small, patient gestures. Rather than striving for spectacle, these practices are grounded in attentiveness, listening, noticing, and allowing time to unfold. Doing little, or even nothing at all, is framed not as withdrawal, but as an essential expressive act.
