Read full details
This exhibition at Casa da Achada – Centro Mário Dionísio brings together prints by Galician writer and artist Alfonso Castelao (1886–1950) and French writer and artist Jean Bruller, known as Vercors (1902–1991), alongside humorous drawings by contemporary artists. Both creators were deeply committed to the fight against totalitarianism in Europe, producing powerful and little-known social caricatures.
Running from April to September, the show is accompanied by a series of sessions exploring Castelao and Vercors’ work and their political engagement. Visitors can expect a thought-provoking look at art and political intervention, addressing social issues, war, and resistance—then and now. The venue is open Monday, Thursday, and Friday from 15:00 to 20:00, and Saturday and Sunday from 11:00 to 18:00.
