Carnation Revolution
50 Years of Freedom

This contemporary art exhibition project focuses on the 50th anniversary of the 25 April 1974 Revolution in Portugal, a moment that marked the transition from a 48-year dictatorial regime to a democratic and European one.

The exhibition will take place in various locations – in a hangar at the Cavalry Regiment no. 6, at the Nogueira da Silva Museum and at Forum Arte Braga. Relevant historical works and new creations will be presented, accompanied by a variety of documentation: from films, photographic archives, books, posters and graphic material. The pieces dialogue with the social, political and cultural context of the historical period covered, between 1960 and the present.
