“Portraits of the Mask” exhibition

5/11/2021

 
What impact has the use of the face mask had on the pandemic? How many smiles and kisses were lost? 
How many words were silenced? 
And how many stories have been left untold?
The face mask is a symbol of the isolation we experienced during the pandemic. "Portraits of the Mask" is its artistic expression.
Imagem
"Portraits of the Mask" is a project developed as a part of Faro's Candidature to the European Capital of Culture 2027, with the participation of photographer Vasco Célio, the 13-year-old multidisciplinary young artist, Matilde Valério, as well as the collaboration of students from the Performing Arts and Contemporary Dance course of Tomás Cabreira Secondary School and the senior and international theatre group Aperitivo.
Until November 12th, visitors to Forum Algarve have the opportunity to enjoy the documental look by Vasco Célio, the poetic texts by Matilde Valério and listen to the different readings (in Portuguese and English) by the actors who, in a joint intergenerational artistic work, reveal the stories of ordinary people from faces.

Imagem
Date: until 12th of November
Time: during working hours of the shopping centre 
Entry: free of charge
Location: Forum Algarve (Faro), 1st Floor of the Shopping Centre (on the opposite of the Mango shop)

The desire to make dreams come true in the region

5/11/2021

 
Imagem
Today, November 5th, is World Cinema Day. We mark the date by showing the talented work of one of our “Capsules” - Reym Nasr - whose dream is to do characterization for cinema, more specifically "Make-up and Prosthetics for Performance".
Imagem
"At the beginning I was afraid to say that I wanted to be an artist and felt a connection to this area. I was afraid of what people would say and I was afraid that I wouldn't be good enough to publish on social networks and invest in this path. Fortunately, when you do what you really like, everything goes well. I have invested a lot in this dream. I've spent hours watching videos on Youtube and practising as much as possible to get my ideas on faces that I like to call my "canvas", says Reym.
Unfortunately it is not possible for Reym to fulfil her dream in the Algarve and to pursue this career she will have to go abroad to study. Next year she will pack her bags to enter the London College of Fashion in London, UK. Reym is part of the Cápsula Project which aims to give voice to young talents from Faro and the Algarve (under-18), but above all to show that there is a new generation of artists who need to go abroad to become professional and build their dream career.
Imagem
The Cápsula project and young people like Reym show the potential that exists in our region and how the title of European Capital of Culture can change and shape its future: "It was also very important to join the Cápsula project, carried out by the Candidature of Faro to European Capital of Culture 2027. This project introduced me to other young artists in the areas of photography, literature and dance who are fighting like me to have a future connected to the arts. Faro and the Algarve really need to win the title of European Capital of Culture so that young people like me have more opportunities for the future in our region. Have you ever thought of an Algarve where Hollywood films with superheroes are made? It would be fantastic!"
Imagem
Radar XS, a news programme for children between ages of 8 and 12, which aims to encourage critical thinking and citizenship, came to meet Reym and show how talent has no age and dreams need to be nurtured!

The municipality of Faro recognizes culture as the main key to the development of the city and the county

4/11/2021

 
Imagem
In the latest meeting, on the 2nd of November, the municipality decided that the annual budget for culture would be 10%. This decision is to be applied now and the next ten years. Such political commitment shows how Faro’s municipality perceives culture as one of the main keys to economic and social development of the city and county.
Imagem
In this same meeting, they agreed on a reform of the formats of support for the cultural and associativism  sectors. One of the changes should include the possibility of attributing financial support within biannual and triannual periods.  This is a progressive decision in the national sphere considering that by standard these financial supports are given annually. With this decision, the municipality seeks to increase the stability of cultural entities related to artistic creation, potentially reaching a higher level of independence. 
Imagem
This meeting took place after the local elections. The new executive of the Municipality reaffirmed the importance of the Candidacy of Faro to European Capital of Culture, considering it a priority project for Faro and the Algarve. It was also debated the financial aid for the candidacy and its future projects. To the president of the municipality, Rogério Bacalhau, the decisions now taken bring to life a set of aspirations that have been promoted throughout the process of the candidacy. “We always said, since the beginning, that more important than the result, is the process and the mark that is left, and with this decision, we are showing that there is a way with no return.”, adding, “culture and creativity are areas in expansion in Europe, being a sector that represents four percent of the European GDP and employs almost nine milion people.“ 
Imagem
“We want Faro to look at the future seeking to develop around the respect for nature and landscape, potentiating the knowledge acquired by the university allied to new technological dynamics. In this perspective, culture must assume itself as an aggregator. We want Faro to be, more than ever, a good place to live, study, work and invest”, concludes the president.

“Banca da Cultura” collects creative proposals from across the Algarve

28/10/2021

 
Imagem
We challenged the community and the cultural agents of the region to join us in building the Candidature of Faro to be the European Capital of Culture in 2027.
Imagem
During September there was an open call to the cultural and creative sector in the Algarve region to submit proposals and contributions to the cultural and artistic programme of the application. A total of 73 proposals were received, from agents throughout the region representing different artistic disciplines, with a significant number of multidisciplinary projects. Many of the projects show a great desire to work with and for the community, as well as to disseminate the Algarve's cultural heritage (tangible and intangible) and to take culture to unusual places.
Imagem
Bruno Inácio, Team Coordinator of Faro's candidacy to become the European Capital of Culture 2027, highlights the quality of the proposals presented, as well as the mobilising capacity of the entities that joined this initiative: "We are very pleased with the participation of the cultural and creative sector in the call we made to help us generate ideas for Faro's candidature process to become the European Capital of Culture. We received very interesting proposals that show the will and capacity of a sector that permanently seeks to reinvent itself, broadening its vision and capacity for action. We received proposals from all over the Algarve, which is also very important because the candidacy assumes this facet. We will now analyse the proposals and seek that within the process of artistic construction they are relevant".
Imagem
This phase of collecting ideas for the artistic content of the Candidature of Faro to European Capital of Culture 2027 also included an appeal to the entire population through the project Banca da Cultura. In online or face-to-face format, this project counted more than 800 participations, not only from individuals but also from entities and organizations that want to join the process. During 3 months, digital sessions were held, visits to associations and regional organizations were made and the existence of a space dedicated to the candidacy in the Faro Municipal Market was also remarkable in this project.
Imagem
Among the themes most mentioned by the general population, the urban space and the community stand out, as well as nature, health and well-being, representing respectively 29%, 18%, 11% and 8.2% of the total of proposals submitted. Sofia Martins, responsible for the area of public participation in the candidacy, explains the importance of community involvement: "”Banca da Cultura” appears as a reinforcement of the characteristics of accessibility and proximity that are intended with this project. This initiative allows us to make the project known, to collect ideas for the artistic and cultural programme of the application, but above all to listen to the challenges, ideas and proposals from different groups in our community".

Faro2027 takes part in the "Democracy Reloading" conference

27/10/2021

 
From 26th to 29th of October 2021, Faro2027 is taking part in the "Democracy Reloading" conference, a network that brings together 17 Erasmus+ national agencies from across Europe to work on youth participation issues at the local level, taking place in the Algarve, in the city of Portimão. This is a great opportunity to network and share practices on youth participation in local governance with around 18 municipalities from all over Europe. We also took Luísa Tinoco, from the education division of Faro Municipality, and our main goal is to support the municipality coaches in the active participation of young people.
Imagem
The involvement of young people in the development of youth policies and in decision making is fundamental to increase their sense of belonging and active citizenship in their communities. This invites municipalities and public authorities to address the needs and interests of young people, to involve them as actors of the solutions to their problems, to increase the level of ownership and responsibility in their own community and thus improve local participation and develop the quality of local democracy. In this way, we believe that young people, if properly informed, trained, empowered and engaged, will be the best agents of change and promoters of European values: Democracy, the Rule of Law and Equality.
Imagem
The key objectives of this network are based on:
  • Supporting municipalities in improving skills in terms of strengthening and developing local democracy through youth participation in decision making;
  • Reflecting on the role and opportunities of municipalities in the “Reloading Democracy” network;
  • Officially presenting the Strategic Partnership for Strengthening Democracy to the municipalities;
  • Presenting the results obtained and lessons learned from the Democracy Reloaded activities implemented between 2015 and 2020;
  • Exchanging good practices and Erasmus + projects on youth participation in decision making as tools for the development of local democracy.
Imagem
Highlight of the event was the launch of the Democracy Reloading Toolkit, an online toolkit which aims to support municipalities and local authorities in successfully involving young people in decision-making. This kit is based on a set of 24 competence elements (attitudes, values, knowledge and skills) that will help a local (municipal) or regional government to design, implement and evaluate a successful youth participation framework. The toolkit will also help municipal officials related to youth policies to become empowered, competent and ready to encourage young people to get involved in decision making, thus improving active citizenship and democracy in local communities.

16 years of the Faro Convention

27/10/2021

 
Imagem
Teatro Lethes this Wednesday, on October 27th, hosted the Faro Convention International Conference - Warm Up Meeting, which aims to celebrate the 16 years of the Faro Convention on the Value of Cultural Heritage for Society.
Imagem
In this session, memorandums of understanding were signed between the Municipality of Faro, the University of the Algarve, UNESCO - Chair on Heritage and Heritage and the Reshaping of Urban Conservation for Sustainability and the TU Delft Chairo n Heritage and Values (Netherlands), which aim to strengthen the collaboration and further development of this topic in the future and the development of an action programme for the first Faro Convention International Conference which will be held in 2022.
Imagem
In the morning, the event had presentations by several PhD students on themes such as communities, sustainability, participation and urbanism. In the afternoon, a workshop and a debate on the use of digital technologies in the context of Cultural Heritage, with the MI.MOMO.FARO project as a motto, were held. 
​It is recalled that the
Faro Convention, signed in the city on 27 October 2005, underlines the importance of cultural heritage as an integral part of Human Rights and democracy, promoting a broad and interdisciplinary understanding of this concept and its relationship with society.

Imagem
The Faro Convention marks a turning point in heritage thinking, by understanding cultural heritage as a matter that belongs to all and for all, which should be everyone's responsibility and where everyone has the right to participate, being this inherent to the right to cultural participation defined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. With the creation of an International Conference dedicated to the Faro Convention, the Municipality of Faro and the Candidature of Faro to European Capital of Culture 2027 intend to promote this valorization of the individual and collective role of society within the scope of heritage, which without it loses its true meaning.

MI.MOMO.FARO distinguished with an Honourable Mention at the Iberian Biennial of Cultural Heritage 2021

26/10/2021

 
Imagem
The project MI.MOMO.FARO, promoted by the Faro’s candidacy to the European Capital of Culture, was distinguished with an Honourable Mention for Approaching the Young Public, in the first edition of the Património.pt Awards, of the Iberian Biennial of Cultural Heritage 2021.
Imagem
Sophie Matias, Councillor for Faro City Council, said: "We are delighted to receive this distinction that recognises the capacity of mobilisation of the Municipality of Faro and the Candidature for European Capital of Culture, but mainly, to reward the effort and commitment of the teachers and students of our municipality. They were the ones who gave life to the project. This honourable mention will also leverage a second edition of MI.MOMO.FARO that will involve more schools in the region, more teachers and more students.”
Imagem
Tiago Candeias, who represented MI.MOMO.FARO at the Iberian Biennial of Cultural Heritage 2021, said: "We make a very positive balance of our participation. This event is a benchmark in the Cultural Heritage sector, not only at national level, but also at Iberian and International level. We had a great participation from the public. Everyone showed great curiosity, interest and desire to know the project in order to understand how two apparently very different realities (Modernist Architecture and Minecraft) can come together and be taught in such a fun and challenging way. The interest was widespread, with many architects and teachers from schools in the region wanting to know more about the project and discover the buildings built by the students in Minecraft. The feedback we received exceeded all expectations."

Banca de Cultura went to the Santa Iria Fair!

21/10/2021

 
During the last week, many people have passed by our space in the Santa Iria Fair and demonstrated themselves being "Marafados para Ganhar" for this candidacy. Our biggest thanks to all the artists who volunteered to make our space at the fair more dynamic, namely: João Correia who reproduced the image of the "Marafados para Ganhar" campaign on an urban art mural; the artists Joana R. Sá, Leandro Marcos, Maria Vaz and Fábio Soares (aka Basap), who were customising t-shirts to offer to the visitors; as well as the Real Tuna Infantina and the Tuna Feminina Feminis Ferventis who brought music and good mood to our space.

We have entered a new phase and the presence of Faro's Candidature to the European Capital of Culture 2027 in the Santa Iria Fair was one more step towards our affirmation as an artistic project and an important engine for the economic and social development of the Algarve. We want, as before, to continue to involve the whole region in the process, we count on everyone so that, together, we can face the challenges ahead.

“Europe at Home” on display at AlgarveShopping

9/8/2021

 
Imagem
AlgarveShopping hosts the exhibition “Europe at Home”, a photography and literature collective exhibition by several European artists that aims to unite different European cities and bring an artistic perspective on the particular moment in which we live, mostly "at home" (#EuropeAtHome). 

Until the 31st of August, Algarve Shopping visitors have the opportunity to know the artistic works by 54 photographers and authors from 27 European cities, as well as access further content via smartphone - each piece has associated QR codes that allow access to more detailed information about each city, artist and work.

Among the authors, there are also two Portuguese. Sandro William Junqueira is a writer, director and teacher of dramatic expression, having published several novels, including “No Céu Não Limões” (2014, finalist for the APE Award – Portuguese Writers Association) and “Quando as Girafas Baixam o Pescoço” (2017, finalist for the SPA Awards - Portuguese Society of Authors). The exhibition also shows the work of the photographer Vasco Célio, who has pursued a continual demand for a documentary gaze  over Europe, and Africa. He has several photo publications, as well as collective exhibitions, commissioned by different institutions, curators, researchers, and other artists.
“Europe at Home” a European project launched by ‘Faro2027’
The project "Europe at Home" and this exhibition arise within the scope of Faro's candidacy for European Capital of Culture 2027. The city of Faro, through 'Faro2027', invited several European cities that present culture as one of their main axis of development, to decode this particular moment in History through the photographs of artists and through the texts of literary authors. Each city participating in the “Europe at Home” project invited a photographer and a writer to produce images and texts that portray the experience of latent social isolation in the daily lives of their communities, a consequence of the pandemic crisis.

Since 2020, the network of cities and artists "Europe at Home" has been growing. What was a digital-only project now takes on a new form in the first exhibition in Algarve/Portugal.

The exhibition is part of “Cultura no Centro”, a Sonae Sierra's project that aims to support artists and cultural entities at national and local level. Throughout 2021, various artistic activities and events will be held at AlgarveShopping, in order to make culture accessible to all visitors.

 
Date: until August 31
Time: during the opening hours of the Shopping Center
Price: free entrance
Location: AlgarveShopping (Guia – Albufeira), on Floor 1 ​

Future projects within the New European Bauhaus movement

21/7/2021

What beautiful, sustainable projects for everyone exist in the Algarve? What New European Bauhaus ideas and initiatives exist in other European countries and can be implemented in the Algarve? How can Algarve entities cooperate and co-create with the aim of actively participating in this big European movement?

These were the questions that guided the "Session of Co-Design of future projects under the New European Bauhaus movement", which took place on 21 July at the Museu do Traje, in S. Brás de Alportel, with the aim of contributing to the gathering of ideas for future projects and new unions that are fundamental to the development of the Algarve in this international challenge. The sharing session allowed us to explore new links and synergies between professionals and projects developed and desired for the Algarve region, crossing the areas of sustainability, accessibility, technology, art and culture.

​The session was specially designed to achieve the proposed objectives and included several moments of participation, brainstorming and co-design of new projects. Revitalisation of the urban space and the rooftops, new models of artistic residences, social-based entrepreneurship, renewal and (re)adaptation of traditional knowledge, food education and sustainable consumption habits were some of the topics discussed.

Faro is looking for a representative in the Rooftoppers* Nomad Academy

26/5/2021

If you are an Artist or a Cultural Agent, this announcement is for you!

In the scope of the Cultura Algarve Horizonte 2030 process, a World Café for the Cultural and Creative Sector in the Algarve region will take place on May 12th between 5.30pm and 8pm, for which you can register HERE.
This board session for the Algarve Cultural and Creative Sector uses the group methodology commonly known as World Café. This is a methodology of sharing and group discussion widely used throughout the world, being very useful to stimulate creativity, explore relevant themes and create space for collective intelligence to emerge. The name Café appears precisely to invite people to talk in an informal, relaxed way, as if they were at a table in a café/restaurant. Although this World Café is Virtual, taking place on the Zoom platform, it will use methodologies that allow this action to be developed with dynamism and generating opportunities for everyone to participate, just as they would in a face-to-face setting.

The aim is that the participants' contributions can be integrated in the document "Cultura Algarve Horizonte 2030", which should be concluded by the end of the summer and will serve to guide the municipalities and regional entities, framing public policies, with a view to the cultural development of the region.
​

In a partnership between AMAL, Faro2027, the Regional Directorate of Culture of the Algarve and the University of the Algarve, a series of online actions have been carried out, focusing on the importance of culture in the development of the territories. Another consultation session open to the public is scheduled for the 19th of this month.

Exhibition "Apostrophe"

23/4/2021

 
Imagem
After another period of confinement, the Association 289 in Faro reopens its exhibition space to let the public know about the event:

Exhibition “Apostrophe”

Guest artists: Ana Rostron, Angelo Gonçalves, Bertílio Martins, Bota Filipe, Bruno Grilo, Bruno Paixão, Christine Henry, Fernando Sampaio Amaro, gat.uno, Gustavo Jesus, João R. Ferreira, João Ferro Martins, José Jesus, Joana R. Sá, Jorge Mestre Simão, Leandro Marcos, Marta Pedroso, Miguel Cheta, Milita Doré, Patrícia Serrão, Paulo Serra, Pedro Cabral Santo, Régis Vincent, Samuel Silva, Susana de Medeiros, Tiago Batista, Vasco Marum Nascimento, Xana.

"The house of 289 welcomes us once again, in its contained space, being able to serve as a refuge, an escape, a rest. It will strengthen possibilities of happening. To return to the time when art houses are alive. Because it is the bodies that segregate the space. It is the bodies that define the sense of the spaces, that transform them into place. (...) What the house of 289 proposes (and all the artists who will temporarily inhabit it), is perhaps leaps into the unknown, exercises in experimenting with freedom, a 'stretching' of relational 'qualities'."

Susana de Medeiros

The entrance is free and the exhibition can be visited with a maximum limit of 10 people simultaneously inside the space and the mandatory use of masks. Disinfectant gel will be available at the entrance of the 289. Visitors should respect the safety distance of 2 meters between those who are not part of their group.

The “APOSTROPHE” exhibition will be open until 13 June 2021 and can be visited from Tuesday to Friday, from 15:00 to 19:00.
