ManifestHabitação Exhibition opens on 9 December

The exhibition, curated by architect João Paulo Rapagão, aims to mark the 30th anniversary of the implementation of the Special Rehousing Programme (PER) and the 50th anniversary of the 25 April Revolution and the Right to Housing enshrined in the 1976 Portuguese Constitution.

Made up of six modules on topics such as the Right to Housing in Matosinhos, Building a neighbourhood is Building a City or the Local Housing Strategy: 2020-2030, this is also an exhibition of Links, Lives, Emancipation, Achievements and Community with a gallery of ten real portraits of protagonists who generously share stories and memories, expectations and hopes.

In addition to the exhibition, there will also be a book launch, workshops, colloquia and forums in a parallel programme that will be announced at a later date.
