The Artist went out to the streets

FROM 20 APR – 31 DEC 2023
On the eve of celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Revolution, we share here at the Aljube Museum the photographs taken by Ana Hatherly on April 25th, 1974. Sharing them here in this parlatory of the former political prison is to materialize a duty and a right to celebrate the 25th of April, 1974. The rituals of celebration of the conquests of freedom and democracy are essential for us to understand their value and persist in their uncompromising defense.

Todo o ano
The Artist went out to the streets
Na manhã do dia 25 de Abril de 1974, Ana Hatherly contrariou as recomendações para que “os habitantes de Lisboa se conservassem nas suas casas” e, como tantas pessoas, saiu à rua e fotografou o pulsar, a surpresa, a alegria, a celebração da liberdade.

Aljube Museum Resistance and Freedom

Dedicated to the history and memory of the fight against the dictatorship and the recognition of resistance in favor of freedom and democracy.
It is a museum site and a historical museum that intends to fill a gap in the Portuguese museological fabric, projecting the valorization of the memory of the struggle against the dictatorship in the construction of an enlightened and responsible citizenship and assuming the fight against the excusing silencing, and often accomplice, of the dictatorial regime that ran the country between 1926 and 1974.

CITIZENSHIP, BECAUSE SO!
We live in times when it is necessary to discuss the obvious. Let’s do it! Education for Citizenship and Human Rights is at our origin, and in our identity and in our daily practice. For all these reasons, we decided to launch the invitation to help us think and explain the obvious: education and culture are always the best answer.
