PAINTING EXHIBITION

“SOUTH | SPECTERS BEYOND THE TAGUS”

Curated by R. Gritto

Alfredo Moreira da Silva – 50 Years of Living Works

⏰ 17:30

🗓️ Saturday 27th September 2025

📍 Museu Municipal, Santiago do Cacém, Portugal

MORE THAN AN EXHIBITION, A MOVEMENT.

SOUTH | Specters Beyond the Tagus is part of the AMS–50 commemorative cycle, produced in partnership with Konsolidarte Internacional, Cultivamos Cultura and Herdade da Matinha. It is also the result of a proposal by the Santiago do Cacém City Council, as part of a broader strategy to enhance the artistic, natural, and intangible heritage of the Alentejo Litoral.

The exhibition extends across several emblematic spaces from Herdade da Matinha in Cercal do Alentejo to Santiago do Cacém: the Municipal Museum, the Town Hall, the Auditorium, the Castle, Rua Egas Moniz, and Travessa de S. Sebastião

This dispersion is not accidental, but a deliberate gesture: to take art to the streets, to the community, to give back to the land what was received from it, because it is in the soil that everything begins and everything ends. It is a way of breaking down physical and symbolic barriers, sharing Alfredo's work with everyone, in the heart of the city.

The exhibition will be accompanied by a wide-ranging parallel program designed to amplify its message in time and space: educational activities with schools and

universities; debates and workshops on art, territory, and ecology; artistic residencies and participatory actions both at Herdade da Matinha and other partner venues.

This is a collective process that extends Alfredo's own philosophy: that we are all nature and that nature is us. And that, as an integral part of the same ecosystem, we all share the same responsibilities: to create, share, and regenerate.

    Theater – Nights at the Square – The Broken Jug

    Throughout the month of August, the “Noites no Largo” initiative presents the play “A Bilha Quebrada,” performed by Baal17—the Baixo Alentejo Educational Theater Company—which will tour various locations in the municipality between August 13 and 30 at 9:30 p.m., in Alvalade, Costa de Santo André, Cercal do Alentejo, Vale de Água, Cruz de João Mendes, Abela, Santiago do Cacém, Ermidas-Sado, Santa Cruz, Vila Nova de Santo André, São Domingos, and São Bartolomeu da Serra. The Santiago do Cacém City Council, with the support of the parish councils, aims through this touring initiative to provide the public with free street theater performances, as part of a clear commitment to cultural decentralization. Musical procession through the streets of each town – 9:00 p.m. | Start of the show – 9:30 p.m. In a village court, Dona Marta demands justice: someone broke into her daughter Eva’s room during the night and smashed her favorite jug. Adão, the authoritarian and corrupt judge, prepares to settle the case for his own benefit, but as luck would have it, on that very day he receives a visit from an inspector from the city. Eva refuses to tell the truth, and suspicion falls on her fiancé. For Dona Brígida, who never misses a thing, the Devil is involved in the matter. After all, who broke Dona Marta’s jug? Text: h.v.
