FITEI - "Iberia Sector 5" - Theatre
Integrated in FITEI, the Teatro Municipal de Matosinhos Constantino Nery receives the show "Ibéria Sector 5", by Carlota Castro, a Visões Úteis production.
Synopsis: Not so long ago, the Portuguese passport presented two personalities on the back of its front and back cover: Luís de Camões and Fernando Pessoa; images that later, thanks to the document's design, echoed through all the other pages.
Would it be possible to propose that artists from the performing arts occupy that position? Would such an intent be accepted by the Portuguese State? Probably not.
Why not? Because nobody remembers, because the memory of those ineffable moments disappears with the death of those who were present, and because without memory nothing can be inscribed in identity. To fight for the memory of performance - through its archive - is to legitimize the performing arts as a factor of identity.

"Sneakers - Portuguese Brands from the New State to the Turn of the Millennium" - Exhibition
“Sneakers: Portuguese Brands from the New State to the Turn of the Millennium” is the exhibition that opened on February 11, 2023, at Casa do Design, in Matosinhos.
At a time when sneakers gain a global dimension as one of the icons of contemporary culture, Casa do Design inaugurates this exhibition curated by Pedro Carvalho de Almeida, to show part of the legacy of the national sports footwear industry.
Starting from a unique collection of more than 500 sneaker models representing a universe of 100 brands designed and manufactured in Portugal, this exhibition explores the cultural, social, political and economic significance that the brands represent. A brief historical context is proposed, an in-depth reading of the Sanjo and Cortebel brands, but above all the revelation of a surprising collection of other brands characterized by small series, models for different sports practices and the respective packaging.
The result of a co-production between the Municipality of Matosinhos / esad—idea, Research in Design and Art and the Institute for Research in Design Media and Culture (ID+), the exhibition simultaneously proposes a historical retrospective and a space for critical reflection, seeking to know how the memory of nationally made sneakers can be rescued, understood and preserved, and how the productive resources we have access to, material and immaterial, can be better used and creatively leveraged.
Between March and June, the role of the designer as a collector, the connections between design, industry and handicrafts, as well as the challenges and opportunities in sustainable development, are discussed.
Upcoming conversations:
April 22, Saturday, 3:30 pm–5:00 pm – Design and Crafts
May 27th, Saturday, 3:30 pm to 5:00 pm – Design and Industry
