Heritales promotes @ Casa Do Buirgos Evora – Portugal (15th-18th of April 2026)

Heritales at the University of Évora promotes The 2nd International Seminar of the BRIDGES Project, entitled ‘I Have A Dream.

In the light of diversity: art, culture, public policy and the digital world’, will focus particularly on culture and diversity, as well as the ways in which the principles of equality are being undermined. The title refers directly to Martin Luther King’s vision of true equality, as expressed in his famous 1963 speech, ‘I Have a Dream’, which called for an end to racial discrimination, by choosing the words and wishes of union.

During the three-day event, international lecturers, researchers and artists will present their studies and results, demonstrating the importance of public policies in culture and the role of education and the arts in promoting diversity and fostering integration within communities. The research highlights the importance of combatting xenophobia and hate speech directed at migrants, refugees, the Romani-Gypsy community, and cultural minorities.

This second international seminar of the BRIDGES project aims to explore inclusion and highlight possible ways of promoting it through culture. The event will address the following themes: public cultural policies; educational initiatives to promote racial and cultural diversity; perspectives on racism and xenophobia; integration policies for refugees, immigrants, and the Roma community; combatting racism and hate speech; and artistic expressions as a means of raising awareness of these issues and achieving equality through the transformative power of culture.

Heritage Exhibition & Cinema at The Library FCT-Nova

An evening of great art, music, traditions and cinema at the FCT-Nova Library in Caparica – Almada (Portugal)

The Organizing Committee of the Heritales – International Heritage Film Festival, in partnership with the Library of the Faculty of Science and Technology of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Caparica Campus, curated by Professor José J. G. Moura (FCT-NOVA), have the honor to extend this invitation to:

The inauguration of the exhibition of trophies created by students of the Master’s Degree in Science and Art of Glass and Ceramics VICARTE (Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon). The event will take place on May 7, 2025 at 5 pm, at the Library of the Universidade Nova de Lisboa, Caparica Campus, 2829-516 Caparica. The exhibition is curated by Professor Helena Elias (FBAUL-VICARTE), Professor Marta Castelo (FBAUL-VICARTE) and Professor Fernando Quintas (FBAUL-VICARTE).
At each edition, the Heritales festival holds a trophy exhibition. These artistic pieces, by Vera Andrade, Miranda Winter, Kasia Lendzion and Igor Minin, will be presented, as prizes, at the final ceremony of the Heritales – International Heritage Film Festival.

This event takes place one month after the opening of the exhibition, on June 6, 2025 at 6 pm. They come up with a variety of creative solutions for designing the different award categories. It shows different possibilities of using textures with the materials used, predominantly glass and ceramics. Trophies respect the care of heritage in a broad sense. They share an attachment to a sustainable world, revealing respect for community life, with empathetic and ecological values ​​aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals. In this sense, the opening of the exhibition will feature an interactive dialogue between the exhibition itself and the artistic mediation of the authors of the pieces, when we will have a unique moment of dialogue between the materiality of the pieces, the mental universe of the artists, and the interpretations of the visiting public.

The sample includes all the awards awarded for the current 2024-2025 edition, dedicated to the “Role of peace in sustainable communities”, and this edition of the Heritales festival is supported by the UNESCO Chair in Education for Sustainable Global Peace at the University of Lisbon. Several sculptures from the prizes awarded for the 2022 festival will also be on display, given that the special circumstances of the SARs-Covid confinement period did not allow some of the trophies to reach their respective award-winning authors.
