On 3 July, at 9pm, the third meeting of the cycle dedicated to Camilo Castelo Branco will take place at the Museu da Memória in Matosinhos.
This session, on the theme of ‘Biography and Legend’, proposes a reflective and intimate approach to the writer's life and legacy, exploring the boundaries between biographical facts and the legendary imagery surrounding his figure.
The event will feature presentations by Cândido de Oliveira Martins, lecturer at the Portuguese Catholic University - Braga, and Joel Cleto, archaeologist and historian, researcher in Portuguese literature, moderated by Tânia Furtado Moreira, scientific consultant for the bicentenary of the writer's birth.
Curated by Jorge Sobrado, Vice-President of CCDR NORTE, the initiative is part of the ‘Camilo 200 a Norte’ programme for the celebrations of the bicentenary of Camilo Castelo Branco's birth, which brings together 35 partners from the Northern Region, including cultural institutions, municipalities and universities, including the Portuguese Catholic University - Braga.
Admission is free but registration is compulsory.
