Despojos de Guerra, exhibition opening and book launch, by Leonel de Castro
Despojos de Guerra is an essay and also a memorial collection, which focuses on the wounded veterans of the Colonial War (1961-1974).
The exhibition and the book are the culmination of a long-term work by photojournalist Leonel de Castro, who traveled to different territories documenting the past and present of Mozambique, Guinea-Bissau and Angola.
NARRATIVA has followed the work since its initial phase, now taking on the co-editing of the book and the curatorship of the exhibition that will be on display at the Centro Português de Fotografia, in Porto.
Despojos de Guerra was distinguished, nationally and internationally, by Estação Imagem Awards and Pictures Of The Year International.
Free entry.

ROOF, exhibition opening and book launch, by Mário Cruz
When ROOF began to be developed, in 2013, the city was different. Lisbon, however, was already showing the first signs that a housing crisis would affect the most vulnerable sectors of Portuguese society.
ROOF has witnessed, over ten years, the drama of a reality that is now exposed through a book and an exhibition that shows the hidden side of the housing crisis in Lisbon, Europe's number one tourist destination.
The city now hides the faces of those who live in inhumane conditions and those who fight a lonely battle for decent access to housing. These people survive on the scraps of what others discard and occupy abandoned buildings, boarded-up factories, vacant schools or rusty shipping containers in an effort to transform them into something that resembles a home.
ROOF was published by the New York Times and distinguished by the Magnum Photos agency.
You can pre-order the book here.
The exhibition opening and book launch will take place in the Antigo Recolhimento das Merceeiras building, at Rua Augusto Rosa, 15, in Lisbon, on April 27th, at 3pm.
Free entry.
