D. José Pedro da Silva Library hosts the exhibition “Macau in Contrasts (2010-2018)”

The D. José Pedro da Silva Library invites the entire academic community to visit the exhibition Macau in Contrasts (2010-2018), a photographic exhibition by researcher and anthropologist Marisa C. Gaspar (ISEG-ULisboa), which will be inaugurated on January 20 at 2:30 p.m. and will remain on display in the Library building until April 4.

Consisting of 32 photographs, this exhibition is part of a vast photographic collection that the author gathered in Macau during her fieldwork between 2010 and 2018 as part of her PhD research and, at a more current stage, in the context of her post-doctoral project.

Among the works on display, “The Faith of Men” stands out, as it's the winning photograph of the International Institute of Macau's prize of December 2023.

The exhibition, which aims to offer an in-depth look at a Macau undergoing rapid transformation, reflects the essence of a city marked by a political context of transition and a growing economy, which tends to be driven by the tourism sector, which encompasses gaming and cultural heritage.

The exhibition is open to the university community and the general public, ensuring free and inclusive access to culture and knowledge.
