Cultural oriented Saturday - the 26th of November 2011.


Having been organised by the Gulbenkian Programme for the near future and co-produced by Casa da America Latina with the support of the Lisbon Townhall and the Embassy of Peru in Lisbon, 28 photos and  three videos by Roberto Huarcaya are being exhibited at one of the most outstanding Sixteenth century buildings of Lisbon - The Tavora-Galveias Palace.



















Many city dwellers don't know what lies beyond this apparently "dying" facade, because they have most probably never been inside the Palace nor its gardens. I was fortunate enough to have participated in a venue organised by APAV and my late deceased daughter in its premises a few years ago and I must recognise it was "painful" to be back there without her.

















Although I had read very little about the exhibition and the photographer, I was quite impressed with some of the photo compositions.

As I walked out of the exhibition there stood the 1890 Neo-Mudéjar Bullring right in front of me again, though this time under the sun which insisted upon  making itself noticeable on such a cold afternoon ...
