Citizens' well-being involves adopting healthier lifestyles, not forgetting cultural enrichment and leisure. Mercado da Terra comes about with a new concept of Urban Market, in an approach in which organic agricultural products are combined, with traditional jams, teas, smoked meat (fumeiro), Portuguese gastronomy and the most varied forms of handicrafts. In this new concept, health also appears, including alternative therapies and culture, with a special focus on stimulating reading and promoting and preserving local cultural activities. In the square of Capela da Nossa Senhora da Conceição next to Rua Padre Luís Cabral The programme presented may undergo some changes beyond the control of the organisation, namely due to weather conditions.

Masks have been having a place in the history of societies since ancient times. Currently, as a symptom of a time of extreme change, masks have gained a renewed relevance and urgency, materializing under different appearances. From online avatars used for entertainment, propaganda or activism purposes to the different movements that lead us to occupy or abandon the streets, our ritualized daily life is today full with practices of caricature, camouflage, disguise, face-swapping, masquerade, mimicry, protection, ridicule, social makeup, among others. João Laia (chief curator of exhibitions at Kiasma Museum of Contemporary Art) and Valentinas Klimašauskas (curator, writer and one of the curators of the Latvian Pavilion at the 58th Venice Biennale, 2019) offer a look at the profound restructure of our multiples historical, socio-political, sexual and transcendental identities, questioning the current processes in which we metamorphose from one to the other.

For more than a decade, Diogo Jesus has been outputting drawings, texts, comics and music under various pseudonyms. As RUDOLFO he edits and self-publishes fanzines and music in since he was 16 years old; since then he has created more than 40 indie publications and participated in different anthologies of comics, both in Portugal and in other countries; at the same time, he has collaborated with several artists, musicians and writers. Curated by João Ribas (former director of the Serralves Museum and curator of Portugal Pavilion at the 58th Venice Biennale, 2019), the exhibition comprises the artist's autobiographical obsessions and his distinct perspective on pop culture. In his drawings and comic books, his cast of people, mutants, aliens and everything in between provides an endless commentary on issues such as creativity, gender and masculinity, and the conditions of making art, simultaneously pushing the boundaries of comic books. Apesar de não estar, estou muito features drawings, objects, videos and texts from a myriad of projects and publications by the artist since 2007, from his first indie underground comic books to his most recent projects as DJ Nobita and Gekiga Warlord, all featuring both his sarcastic humour and a eviscerating honesty.

National Geographic has explored the planet for over 130 years and is distinguished by challenging, protecting and inspiring humanity to go beyond. It all started in 1888 with an invitation, which brought together the 33 founders of the National Geographic Society in Washington D.C. Among them geologists and cartographers, bankers and lawyers, scientists and military leaders began to delineate the purpose of the organisation. Everyone believed that science coupled with a clearer perception of our world would have the power to change it, improving it. With neither staff nor headquarters, the National Geographic Society began charting new routes, discovering new cultures and going beyond. We celebrate Alexander Graham Bell, Amelia Earheart, Alexander Graham Bell, Robert A. Bartlett, Richard E. Byrd, Barry Bishop, Jane Goodall, Sylvia Earle, Dian Fossey, Jacques Cousteau, Robert E. Peary, and so other big names in the National Geographic’s history. To share the expeditions, discoveries and scope, the National Geographic magazine was created in 1888. Its first edition was sent to an exclusive list of 200 members. In 2015, the National Geographic Partners was founded and its platform reaches over 450 million people, 43 languages, in 172 countries every month. The will of our 33 founders was fulfilled. We reached the four corners of the earth and went further. 131 years later, we continue to point our lenses at the most inhospitable places and the harshest realities of our planet, we continue to pursue big questions and challenge thoughts once accepted, we continue to protect and inspire humanity to go beyond. But none of this would be possible without your contribution. Thanks to you we have already awarded over 14,000 research grants, supporting ambitious projects in the areas of science, exploration and conservation. When you read, watch, buy or travel with us, you are supporting the work of our scientists, explorers and educators around the world. Because of you, our cause exists. Thank you for helping us contribute to a more sustainable planet.

There are more than 5 million Lego bricks, spread over 2,000 square meters, totalling about 100 sets, in 12 themed areas. Includes recreations of iconic films such as the Titanic or the Star Wars saga. With the potential to attract people of all ages, it combines fun with knowledge, as one of the themed areas recreates the human body in LEGO, thus becoming a Biology lesson from a different perspective. For fans of the Star Wars saga, this exhibition is also a must-visit, featuring spaceships, characters, lightsabres, iconic scenes from the films, as there is a strong likelihood of being wowed by the detail put into each reconstruction. The Battle of Coruscant, Trench Run or TIE Fighter are some of the recreations on display in the Star Wars District. The trip is made not only to the futuristic world of this cult series, but also to the historical past, romanticized by the film Titanic. For the Lego construction of the most famous ship of the 20th century, about three meters high and 11 meters long, around 500 thousand bricks were used. There is also a zone dedicated to characters from superhero films to scale, like Captain America or Thor; a 1:1 scale Avenue of Sports Stars, where Robert Lewandowski is on the list; a zone of robotics and fantasy; an animation area, which include the famous blue creatures, The Smurfs, among other attractions, such as train track scale models, and recreations of high-speed train models (Pendolino, ICE and TGV).

We see the Douro through the eyes of pioneering photographers: the magnificence of the terraces descending in gentle waves to the river, the bridges and tunnels by Emílio Biel, the work of the vineyard and the grape harvest of his apprentice, Domingos Alvão, the mimosas or the almond trees in bloom of the Estado Novo tourism. When the colour arrived, the overlapping hues of solstices’ gold and the old reds. This was and is the mythical Douro, with rabelos boats sailed by sailors, descending in a queue to the pier, the barrels towards the warehouses of Gaia. This Douro remains on postcards and advertising pamphlets. Carlos Cardoso, year after year, rebuilt today's Douro, maintaining the reality of its permanencies and changes, in black and white, between the memory of the images and their meaning, which only the contrast of shadow and light can make it clearer. Almost immutable in the time of the Ages, the ancient rocks, the granite of the Iberian massif, the shale of its torrid crushing. The shale blades challenged men and forged the destiny of the vineyard, they are the matrix of the territory. The photographer shows us his power, on the paths, in the blockades, on the ground of almond trees and vineyards, but also the raw material for his direct use and, here and there, the failure of the rock in the face of vegetation or the sign of permanence depending on the divine. On this matrix basis, the men produced the terraces according to their needs, then the levels according to the machines. The civilization of communication appropriates the Douro from the railway and explodes with the road. The landscape is made with iron beams, concrete and reinforced concrete spirals, in an old and new figure. To clarify this, there are no baskets for transporting grapes and protecting glass: the road culture is also that of plastic and ephemeral. So, because it is a photographic look, a new collection of images turns abandonment, neglect and discouragement into beautiful images of remains, of impure signs of pure longing. A visible unity is defined between the gaps in the shale blades, in their illusory solidity and the constructions that speak of the technical levels of man's culture. Both crumble, cover themselves with weeds, tear under the vital impulse of the trees: both speak of a past and a changing present. The shale layers dismantle like the railway tracks, defining new layers of ground. The abandoned stations, created to assert their Portuguese nature, are invaded by a thicket and desolation. Sometimes the two worlds of the old recent and the new intersect, in the geometry of the equipment, but always, always the greatest geometry are the mountains that reduce the scar the road that tears them. This built, marked and suffered Douro is doomed to be a dazzle. The matrix undulating of the mountains is deepened with concentric lines and the very white verticals of the levels; the precipices, the starry shales of gleams, the royal road of the river became systematic appropriations of man. But a viewpoint high above, a repainted bench to rest, the quintas (estates) multiplying the quality of the wine are other responses to what Nature offers or denies: Nature is indifferent to man, indifferent to itself, as a concept. The tension between the critical spirit and the longing or the search for beauty are things of man. This is what these images are about.

From 6 December 2019 to 27 December 2020, the Natural History and Science Museum of the University of Porto (MHNC-UP) hosts, in its core pole (Historical Building of the Rectory of the University of Porto, near Cordoaria Garden), the exhibition Cultures and Geographies.

It is a new chapter that opens in the already long history of Teatro da Palmilha Dentada, but perhaps it is advisable to moderate expectations. The company from Porto makes an unprecedented foray into the classical repertoire, putting the name of an author from the western theatre on an artistic programme for the first time. But, here is an advance warning, this Bourgeois Gentleman is not “by” but “based upon” Molière, a means that indicates a source and denounces an appropriation. Ricardo Alves and his troupe revisit this classic from 1670, an extravagant and colourful comedy-ballet written in collaboration with the composer Lully, mixing dances and songs. Territory that is not even new on the route of Palmilha Dentada, just think of A Cidade dos Que Partem (2009), also a comedy of customs disguised as a musical, or vice versa. A portrait of all-devouring ambition and all-purchasing nouveaux riches, O Burguês Fidalgo continues to speak about us and our cities, in short: about our ugliness. Topic that is centuries old of contemporary and future.

Let's start over, carefully. We are in no hurry, we miss you. And we have a public thanks to make. Let's start over with those who love us and those who have done us good. “Caring when everything is good throws the sadness away”, we hear in Castro. In early July, we will return to the performances that the pandemic has suspended. Together again! Let's start over, with joy and safety. "Live joyfully, Castro, live safely, throw your fears away." Castro (1598) by the poet António Ferreira, marks the first incursion of Nuno Cardoso into a canon piece of Portuguese theatre, Portugal’s first classical tragedy. He intends to inhabit this literary fiction, which itself offers a particular version of the historical drama / legend / myth of star-crossed lovers Pedro and Inês, making us “see with other eyes”, revealing to it the intrinsic modernity and density, veiled by the language’s poetry and by utterance. An immense stage-house-country, a kind of giant model of the spaces of action, a primordial and claustrophobic family cell, confront us with the tangible intimacy of characters that are in thrall to themselves and their intransigence. In Castro, like in Danton’s Death, the question of utopia (of love, as well as of revolution) is crucial. It is his dark reverse that is exposed here: love / desire and power as vice and chaos, as a prerogative, impunity and arrogance, as blindness that “tarnishes the brilliant rays of the ancient glory”. And how this tarnishing impairs the decision and replicates itself, tainting the family’s fabric with blood and revenge, in a peculiar dislocation of Castro’s focal point from Inês, and from the reason of State as fiction and morals, to Pedro, in his mirror-like relationship with his father, King Afonso IV. "What star was that so dark?"
