FNAC EXHIBITION

If you live in Lisbon or you are just passing you can attend Marco Pereira and Sara Wong's exhibition at Fnac Colombo until 15th March. “ Folia do Divino” depicts the Divine Holy Spirit Feast, held ever year, 50 days after Easter in the brazilian town of Pirenopolis. The town and surrounding countryside are ran by hordes of horsemen and euphoric “mascarados” and invaded by thousands of attendants from all over the country, conquered by the colorful splendor of the Folia do Divino (Divine spree) and of the local Cavalhadas, a peculiar reconstitution of the medieval crusades. If you can't visit the exhibition this feature is also available in our archive.

BRAVA - THE ISLAND OF THE BRAVE

Brave are the ones that live in Brava. Brave are the ones that decide to travel there. Remote, isolated, these can be ironic words to describe an island only 15km distant from neighbouring Fogo island. But rough sea conditions and no plane connections makes this tiny capeverdian island a destination or a home only for the fearless.
The smallest of the islands that compose Cape Verde archipelago has the "Flowers island" nickname due to its mild climate, and its charming capital Nova Sintra proudly shows its simple colonial architecture as a jewel.
Take a look at this new feature by photographer Luis Filipe Catarino here.
