You Are (not) Here

Thanks to Expo’98, the east section of Lisbon, which lay part abandoned, part frozen in time, was reborn with the creation of Parque das Nações, a city within a city. Photographer Bruno Portela was a privileged witness to one of the country’s greatest urban transformations. Few people have any idea of what inhabited the landscape 20 years ago. Seven exhibitions, with 78 large-scale photographs and a documental tone, will take the visitor to a past which, though recent, will seem faraway and unreal. One city can hide another: careful as you cross.

Each of the exhibitions will be housed in a different area of Parque das Nações: Galp Tower; the Oceanarium; the Pavilion of Portugal; Vasco da Gama Shopping Centre; the Atlantic Pavilion; Vasco da Gama Tower and Vasco da Gama Bridge.

On the first Sunday of each month there will de a guided tour with the photographer and a special guest.
