    "Alentejo Meu - Images of My Homeland" Painting Exhibition

    🎨 Painting Exhibition Alentejo Meu - Images of My Land 📌 The exhibition “Alentejo Meu – Images of My Land” by Ilda Rito opens on August 22 at 4:30 p.m. at the Santiago do Cacém Municipal Museum. "(...)When viewing Ilda Rito’s paintings, we immediately realize that they function as an extension of her camera lens—the result of her trained photographic eye and, naturally, the sensitivity with which she immortalizes in time images from of this land she loves and this Alentejo she carries in her heart(...)".

    “People of Santiago do Cacém – Disappearing Professions”

    Synopsis: The ACCSSC—Cultural and Social Association of Santiago do Cacém—presents examples of professions that make little sense today: dressmakers, shoemakers, tailors, pavers, and tinsmiths. There are others as well, such as millers, coopers, and telephone operators… But these are skills that must be respected and preserved, not least because we may one day need to revive them. And which professions will be the next to disappear? Which others will be needed in the near future?

    Photography Exhibition “With or Without… Smile. Life Is Worth Living!” From June 5 to July 26, the group photography exhibition “With or Without… Smile.

Eleven photographers were challenged to participate, and they readily volunteered to photograph 12 people who had been diagnosed with breast cancer. These photographs are the result of those sessions.

    Exhibition by Ermelinda Cordeiro

    🐯 Exhibition by Ermelinda Cordeiro - No longer a cheetah, now a cat Exhibition at the Manuel da Fonseca Library in Santiago do Cacém from January 6 to February 28. In this exhibition, fabric comes to life and imagination transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary. The artists from Cercisiago give a new soul to the traditional chintz, a fabric full of colors and popular memories. Piece by piece, the cheetah ceases to be cloth and is reborn in the shape of a cat - a symbol of curiosity, freedom and tenderness. Through collage on cardboard silhouettes, each work tells a story of transformation, creativity and affection [...].
