No ano em que o Arquivo Municipal de Braga celebra o legado do artista bracarense, esta mostra, concebida no âmbito do centenário do seu nascimento, propõe um percurso visual e afetivo pela dimensão humana da arte de Veiga — uma arte que nasce do olhar atento às vivências populares, às expressões da religiosidade, aos gestos do quotidiano e à sua força simbólica. Trata-se do testemunho da sua entrega à arte como forma de preservar e dignificar a alma de um povo, uma expressão de perenidade e promessa para o futuro.
Esta exposição marcará o encerramento das comemorações e aprofundará o conhecimento sobre o legado de José Veiga e a sua importância para a cultura bracarense.
Exposição integrada no MEMORAR – Mediação Cultural do Arquivo Municipal de Braga.
Braga is the city hosting Utopia. The cultural policies that make this city the Portuguese Capital of Culture in 2025 have a special focus on literature. The work the city has been doing with schools and cultural activities in connection with books now has a new and relevant ally: Utopia. The literary festival emerges with the clear mission of presenting and affirming itself as a global brand of events, born in the youngest district capital in Portugal.
Utopia is a project by The Book Company, a part of the greatest publishing group in the world: Penguin Random House. With over 15 years of experience, it is the leading company in the design and executive production of literary events in the country. It has produced hundreds of cultural and literary events from the north to the south of Portugal, with a portfolio that features several incursions abroad, namely the executive production of Portugal´s presence as Guest of Honour at FIL Guadalajara in 2018, as well as events in Cape Verde, Colombia, Spain, Mexico, Poland and participation in Creative Europe projects.
Penguin Random House (PRH) is the greatest publishing group in the world, having sold over 700 million books in 2021, employing 12,000 staff across 300 independent imprints. The group publishes 16,000 new titles every year, featuring over 80 Nobel Prize for Literature winners in its catalogue.
