Inauguration of 50 Stones for Freedom

In this exhibition by Er (Ernesto Matos) & Amigos, we focus on the Portuguese sidewalk and its stones, a source of inspiration for the participants in this collective project. The exhibition marks the Revolution of April 25, 1974, a military and popular action that would restore freedom to the Portuguese people through the streets and their countless stone sidewalks. The Revolution took place on the cobblestones, and the cobblestones were therefore part of the Revolution. After the opening of the exhibition, there will be a talk by Ernesto Matos entitled The Portuguese Artistic Pavement in the World – A History Made of Stone.
