Artes e Ofícios | The House of Craft welcomes historian and writer Daniel Bastos for the presentation of his book “Portugal: From Dictatorship to Democracy”, a work that revisits some of the most significant moments in contemporary Portuguese history through the lens of photojournalist Marques Valentim.
Featuring more than 200 photographs, the publication takes readers on a visual journey through Portugal’s history, from the Colonial War and the Carnation Revolution of 25 April 1974 to the country’s transition to democracy, also exploring social change, rural life and Portuguese emigration.
Published in Portuguese and English, with the institutional support of the Mário Soares and Maria Barroso Foundation, the book features a foreword by João Soares and a translation by Paulo Teixeira, making an important contribution to preserving and celebrating Portugal’s collective memory.
This presentation offers an opportunity to learn more about Daniel Bastos’s research and reflect on the events and transformations that have shaped Portugal over recent decades, in a gathering dedicated to Portuguese history, identity and collective memory.
Free admission. Registration required. Limited places available.
