Presentation of the photo book “Fado, the Folk Song of the City of Lisbon”

Featuring a performance by “Acordeão Fadista”

May 16 | Saturday | 4:00 p.m.

Synopsis: This book emerges from the intersection of the city, the photographer’s gaze, and the pulse of Lisbon’s song. It is the result of a collective process of creation, listening, and sharing, in which fado reveals itself as a living presence in constant transformation.

This is not an exhaustive, historical, or academic approach, but rather an authorial journey in which each project participant encountered fado as it manifests itself in the city—in its spaces, objects, people, and memories. What we now present is an unfinished portrait—and for that very reason so true—of a Lisbon that, in its song, sings of pain, longing, love, and resistance.

Artistic direction: Luís Rocha

Project coordination: Tânia Araújo

Photographers: Alexandre Carvalho, Ana França, Ana Santos, Fernando Santos, José M. Marques, Luís Rocha, Paulo Martins, Sílvia Gonçalves, Sílvia Pessoa, Tânia Araújo
