In march 2017 I was invited by the journalist and editor Sofia Lorena to produce illustrations for the 2017 issue of the newspaper Lisboa Capital Republica Popular. The main subject was "The Fear".
I had all the freedom to create several images, visions and possible perspectives around the concept.
"Created in 2009, Lisboa Capital República Popular (LCRP) is a multidisciplinary festival that takes place every year in April to mark the anniversary of the Carnation Revolution – the Portuguese coup that brought down nearly 50 years of dictatorship on 25 April 1974. Taking upon the values and ideals that prompted the revolution, LCRP main purpose is to promote and stimulate an intergenerational dialogue on commonly shared values.
(...)
Every year the festival addresses a different matter of reflection: song as a weapon, solidarity, liberty and memory are some of the guiding principles that have been in focus in past editions. In addition to the concerts and debates included in the festival programme, every year LCRP publishes a newspaper to foster a deeper approach and critical thinking on the festival’s motto."
