Heritales @ Library of Universidade FCT-Nova Caparica (7th of May 2025)

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.

Heritales @ Library of Universidade FCT-Nova Caparica (10th of April / 7th of May 2025)

Heritage Cinema at The Library FCT-Nova

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

Heritales – International Heritage Film Festival presents a program of several film sessions on tangible and intangible heritage, where the landscape, communities and architecture of various places around the world are revealed as scenarios of social unity, of community ties that create relationships of stability and solidarity. These are manifested through the transmission of traditional knowledge, techniques and rites, community support in the face of problems and threats to communities and which allow for the construction of relationships with the natural environment that are sustainable in the long term. Unfortunately, these forms of heritage are often questioned by the context of current globalization, which does not coincide well with the rhythms of a world that is no longer balanced and is forgetting the foundations of its pre-industrial past, which promotes sustainable ways of life with its immediate surroundings.
