Opening of the exhibition Para Por Cuidar, by Cátia Valente

Para Por Cuidar is a testament to closeness, time, and connection, where the extraordinary is revealed in the repetition of daily life – a shared philosophy in which devotion manifests itself in the act of caring.

In Portugal, despite the Informal Caregiver Statute, challenges persist regarding the visibility, support, and recognition of the burnout associated with caregiving. The project explores different contexts, revealing a common thread: continued presence, silent adaptation, and the inherent burnout of daily caregiving.

The project was developed during the NARRATIVA Masterclass, and the exhibition takes place in the entrance hall of the Garcia de Orta Hospital in Almada.

Cadernos Portugueses: Volume 1 - Opening of the exhibition and book launch

Cadernos Portugueses is a collective photographic project by NARRATIVA dedicated to observing contemporary Portugal through photography. A continuous exercise in reading the territory, its transformations, and the social, political, and cultural realities that define it.

With a development horizon until 2030, the project is organized into territorial volumes, each dedicated to a region of Portugal. In each edition, several authors develop autonomous visual investigations based on a common geography, starting from their own questions, interests, and methodologies. The gathering of these works constitutes a collective work, in which different photographic approaches contribute to a plural reading of the same territory.

Each volume is an independent publication, produced in a limited edition, and simultaneously part of a growing visual archive. Photography is, in this project, a form of discovery, a space for reflection, and an instrument for constructing memory.

Cadernos Portugueses begins with a fascicle dedicated to the Alentejo region, through the observations of Bárbara Monteiro, Guillermo Vidal, José Fernandes, Mário Cruz, and Rui Costa.
