NARRATIVA & Casal da Boba
NARRATIVA and Fujifilm Portugal are holding a workshop with young people living in Casal da Boba neighborhood, with the aim of creating a visual narrative that reflects their vision of this neighborhood located in Amadora.
The workshop begins with a theoretical component on photography as a form of communication and expression, followed by a practical component in which each participant is accompanied by a member of NARRATIVA.
The results are shared through the collage of photographs throughout the neighborhood, which was created to support families living in situations of great vulnerability and poverty in other parts of the municipality.

Presentation of the book Moraesu St., by José Bértolo
Moraesu Street is a street in Tokushima where the Portuguese writer Wenceslau de Moraes (1854-1929) spent the last sixteen years of his life. Japan was a place of fascination and refuge for Moraes.
Moraesu St. is José Bértolo's response to the questioning of these spectral transits. This photography book was born from a visit to Japan — Tokushima, but also Kobe, Osaka, Kyoto and Nara —, during which the photographer followed the same paths as Moraes, Janeira and Rocha, producing a reflection on photography as a «language of the dead», as Moraes wrote.
The presentation of the book is attended by the author and is carried out by photographers and curators Pedro Alfacinha and João Miguel Barros.
Free entry.
