Portuguese Cultural Events, 8 and 11 December 2020

In December we again hosted our by now traditional annual Portuguese cultural event, supported by the Instituto Camões and organised by our Camões Tutor, Vítor Fernandes. The constraints on physical movement and gathering in 2020 became an opportunity as the shift to the online mode allowed us to organise not one but two events in the same week, via video call! We were delighted to host fascinating conversations with well-known Portuguese journalists and writers Alexandra Lucas Coelho (on the topic “Between Brazil and Portugal”, led by Tori Holmes, Senior Lecturer in Brazilian Studies) and Joana Gorjão Henriques (on “Contemporary Portugal: Challenges”, led by Maria Tavares, Senior Lecturer in Portuguese Studies). Both events were held in English and open to students, researchers, and members of the Portuguese-speaking community.
