Eugénia Soares Lopes e Markus Zuber - Porto Pedras e Vozes - Stones and Voices (Ed. bilingue)

"Culture today, whether in transmuted locations, or in the new inscriptions of the city (the Casa da Música, stunning for its photographic and verbal frameworks) or the portals of Alice that the speculation of Hazul Luzah keeps seeding), the rainy Rua de Miguel Bombarda, the Museu da Imprensa and the Museu das Marionetas or settings of artists’ portraits such as the studio of José Rodrigues, cultural spaces where we find musicians, teachers, architects, booksellers or those lovers of art that kept gathering it, remembering, managing, delivering, where culture is called Franganito, Ovelha Negra or Comer e Chorar por Mais. The city follows through the almost forgotten caminhos do Romântico ranging from the sixteen hundreds and the eighteen hundreds and is invented, - and only what we invent, it is said, is true, - till the Foz. The image receives the tangible, the word, the intangible. And it is with mental cartographies and offerings of the visible that we build recognition atmospheres on this guided tour of the cultural Porto."
