Sep to Dec 2024
A city comprises people; its human dimension is part of its identity. In
A CIDADE FALA, we want to see and hear; we want to create an anthology of
portraits and videos of Portimão's people. Several photographers will be invited
to create a mobile studio or to use public spaces to photograph the faces of the
people of Portimão, those who live in the city but also on the outskirts, as well
as those who work or have worked at sea. The photographs will be presented
in a collective exhibition inaugurated in November at the Portimão Museum.
At the same time, video cameras will be made available so that people living in
Portimão can record their reflections on the town using a series of questions
about it. This will be a space of freedom where those who wish can speak
and offer their thoughts. The result will be presented as a documentary film.
