Last Saturday, the Angra do Heroísmo Museum opened its doors to the public to demonstrate the traditional process of preparing alcatra, led by Duarte Fournier, Grand Master of the Alcatra Brotherhood of Terceira Island. Before the alcatras were prepared, the making of the traditional clay bowls took place, guided by the potter Ricardo Simas. As for the tasting of the alcatra, the table was already set for lunch the following day.
These are replicas of dinosaur fossils that can be seen in an exhibition open to the public at the Angra do Heroísmo Science Centre of the Azores Environment Observatory, located in the former Casa do Peixe near Prainha, until 28 December 2017. It is a travelling and educational exhibition that is part of the Science and Technology Collection of the Angra do Heroísmo Museum.
The Angra Museum hosted a mini collection of ready-to-wear pieces designed by Sílvia Teixeira, featuring lace certified from the islands of Pico and Faial, inspired by the glamour of the 1930s. This initiative, part of the Night of Museums, stems from a challenge posed to the fashion designer by the Regional Centre for Craft Support, within the framework of the “Creative Residency 2016” project, which aims to promote and innovate Azorean handicrafts through the creation of new products. The event also celebrated the 90th anniversary of Documentário Terceirense, the earliest known film record from Angra, which was screened on the occasion.
Jazz brought together the cities of Porto and Angra for three days in a festival that resulted from a joint initiative by the +Jazz project and the Porta-Jazz Association. The event, held at the Angra Museum, featured a programme including concerts by six bands and around twenty musicians, as well as a day dedicated to musical training. It is worth noting that the +Jazz Project, led by Daniela Silveira, began in 2012 with the aim of promoting Azorean artists and creating a regular jazz circuit on Terceira Island.
