Lisbon Events Calendar

As you probably already know, dinosaurs once roamed the Earth— but did you know that they roamed around Portugal? The Museum of Natural History is taking an intensive look at different types of dinosaur fossils and inviting you to get to know the regions of Portugal where they are most abundant. Learn about excavation work, laboratory preparation, and identification of the Allosaurus fossils found in Andrés (Pombal) and maybe you’ll get a better idea about just what was going on at this time 150 million years ago, and what dinosaurs have survived until today.

Note: Weekend hours are from 11h to 18h

From the organizers:

Allosaurus: in what regions of the planet were they discovered? What characteristics did these Dinosaurs have? The answer to this question leads to the reflection about the diets of the dinosaurs, their life habits, and the adaptations necessary for their survival. Since Allosaurus is a theropod, we can not forget that some dinosaurs of this group evolved acquiring avian characteristics. We are therefore led to the conclusion that not all of the dinosaurs were extinct 66 million years ago.

Mara Castilho is a multi-talented multimedia artist who spends her days between London, Lisbon, and Rio de Janeiro.

Here’s what some art critics have said about her work: “… Castilho’s art puts us on the path of complete destruction and suspends us in time – it offers pure pleasure without real death.” Lapiz Art Magazine (SPAIN).

“Mara Castilho’s Installation ‘Absence II’ has the power, simplicity, and beauty that bring artists such as Bill Viola to mind… ” New York Arts Magazine (USA).

And here’s what Occupart, the latest gallery to have its walls lined with Mara’s stuff, say: “In her solo show O Vazio da Minha Alma (The empty of my soul), Mara exposes painted and embroidered photographs. Emptiness and loss haunt these works. Between black, white, and gold, Castilho exhibits images that navigate between beauty and the ugly, pain and love, emptiness and ruin, life and death.”

Refreshingly uplifting, no?
Come see how Mara fills the void.

INAUGURATION:
Wed, Nov 27, 18h30-21h30.

“And as the upperdog leisurely sighing…
The local cultures are dying and dying.
The programmed robots are buying and buying.
And a psycho load of freaks- they are
still trying trying…”
Gogol Bordello.

In 2019, Lisbon art gallery Underdogs 10 celebrated its sixth year of “trying trying,” which is pretty impressive for a city being ruthlessly destroyed by greedy upperdog landlords.

To celebrate, the underdogs are inviting eight local artists that have helped keep them on the map over the years for a group show.

Here’s what they say:
“Bringing together a representative group of Portuguese artists with whom Underdogs Gallery has been working during its six years of activity, “From Lisboa to the World” acts as a national complement to the group show “From the World, Made in Lisboa,” presented last April, whose focus fell on the international artists who have visited and worked in the city in the scope of our exhibitions programme.

Like their international counterparts, this new generation of Portuguese artists – who have developed and matured their voices here in direct interaction with the city and its public – also reflects a diverse and multidisciplinary universe of authorial visions, projecting from Lisbon a heterogeneous set of perspectives and proposals with a global dimension, thus effectively materialising Underdogs’ purpose and mission.”

The artists on display are:

Plants.
Vegans believe we should enslave them, breed them, leave just enough of them for us to breathe, and eat the rest. Some of us believe that plants, like animals, are our brothers and sisters on this lonely planet, and therefore, should be given the freedom to live a long, happy, and healthy life, ending in a peaceful and natural death.
And chlorophyll seems to agree with us.

Anyhoo…

From the organizers:
“This Christmas, forget about the plastic toys and last-minute trinkets! Between December 15th and 22nd the cultural association Crew Hassan welcomes the first edition of CLOROFILA: Plant, Art and Craft Market! A meeting of ecology, sustainability, handmade stuff, and oxygen. Find artists and artisans, and bring home plants, seeds, textiles, arts and crafts of every variety. Greener green on the ground floor of Crew Hassan, with bar service running as usual (from 15h).”

If you are an artist and want to participate, send a private message to co-organizers Plataforma Germinal.

Vegans — we’re just kidding — you’re alright.

Ho-Ho-Ho!
And a Merry Christmas to all!

Depending on the job, Wednesdays can leave some people feeling like they’re in a jam. Anjos70 (no, despite popular belief we are not on their payroll; we just like the place) offers a way to get out of said jam with a weekly jam session.
Local musicians — André Jessen on drums, Jorge Figueiredo on bass, Bruno Vieira on guitar and Inês Laranjeira on vocals — will help you get through the work week with some live tunes. And, if you have a voice and/or an instrument, feel free to jump in on the jam.

There’s also a vegan dinner option at 18h, if that’s still your thing.

DIY has become a vague term in recent years. After all, we’re all in it together, right? Moreover, big business is all about buzzwords…
Nevertheless, with minimum wage persistently low and rent increasingly high, the times are riper than ever for some good old-fashioned do-it-yourself fun.
Disgraça, one of Lisbon’s best little-known venues for, among other things, light vegan dinners and heavy punk rock shows, is a pretty good definition of DIY (read their story here). That’s why every Wednesday they are hosting “DIY-day.” We’ll let them do the rest:
“We bring two really good things together – creating stuff AND hanging out with nice people.
Drop in any Wednesday from 18h!
Bring your own material!
NO DINNER but the bar is open and we will also provide some snacks.
To begin with, we will just learn from each other and so on, but in the future, there may be some workshops… bring your ideas!”

FREE ENTRY.

“All artists are willing to suffer for their work. But why are so few prepared to learn to draw?”
Banksy.

Cathy Douzil is an artist and teacher who was born in Paris and now lives in Lisbon.
Cathy likes to draw, and she’s not bad.
For that reason, she doesn’t mind teaching you.

Here’s what she says about her workshops:
“Throughout the year, session after session, we will try to solve the mystery of moving a three-dimensional figure to our sheet of paper, capturing the essentials of the human figure (dynamics, movement, and shadow). Sessions will be at two speeds: calm every Tuesday and fast every Wednesday.”

The workshops are open to anyone 15 years or older, with no experience necessary.

PRICING:
-7€ per session all month at two speeds;
-8€ per session all month at one speed;
-10€ per single session (paid in cash at the Museum reception before 18h).
*Alternatively, monthly payments can be made via bank transfer, at least 48 hours in advance; please ask for bank details upon registration.

MATERIALS:
The material is included (board, sheets, and pencil) but limited to the first 18 students enrolled.
You will be able to participate beyond this limit with your own material.

Every Tuesday and Wednesday (except holidays), 18h-19h30, until June 24th, 2020.

Registrations via email [email protected].

Did we mention there will be naked people?

The image on the left is beautiful.
Ruderal, even.

From the interwebs:
“-ruderal (adjective/ noun): growing / a plant that grows where the natural vegetational cover has been disturbed by humans.”

DeBru describes itself as “an open space for the exchange of experiences, ideas, and perspectives. Designed to allow social interaction and remain open to different forms of expression, the space was designed by hand and in the most flexible way possible to maximize the possibilities of interaction and creativity of our employees. With a menu focused on local and independent products, DeBru seeks to inspire creativity and creative momentum by stimulating different ways of producing, collaborating, and living in a changing world.”

This December, DeBru proudly presents Ruderal. At the root of the exhibit are artists Maitê Bueno and Kim Schädlich. Throughout the two weeks they are joined by many a friend — to help make your December more fruitful.

“Bringing together a representative group of Portuguese artists with whom Underdogs Gallery has been working during its six years of activity, “From Lisboa to the World” acts as a national complement to the group show “From the World, Made in Lisboa,” presented last April, whose focus fell on the international artists who have visited and worked in the city in the scope of our exhibitions programme.

Like their international counterparts, this new generation of Portuguese artists – who have developed and matured their voices here in direct interaction with the city and its public – also reflects a diverse and multidisciplinary universe of authorial visions, projecting from Lisbon a heterogeneous set of perspectives and proposals with a global dimension, thus effectively materialising Underdogs’ purpose and mission.”

The artists on display are:
±MAISMENOS±
ADD FUEL
AKACORLEONE
ANDRÉ DA LOBA
MÁRIO BELÉM
PEDRITA STUDIO
ERESA ESGAIO
WASTED RITA

Opening reception with the artists:
Fri, Nov 29- 19h-22h.

Gallery hours:
Tue – Sat, 14h-20h.

Exhibition on view until Dec 21.

Plants.
Vegans believe we should enslave them, breed them, leave just enough of them for us to breathe, and eat the rest. Some of us believe that plants, like animals, are our brothers and sisters on this lonely planet, and therefore, should be given the freedom to live a long, happy, and healthy life, ending in a peaceful and natural death.
And chlorophyll seems to agree with us.

Anyhoo…

From the organizers:
“This Christmas, forget about the plastic toys and last-minute trinkets! Between December 15th and 22nd the cultural association Crew Hassan welcomes the first edition of CLOROFILA: Plant, Art and Craft Market! A meeting of ecology, sustainability, handmade stuff, and oxygen. Find artists and artisans, and bring home plants, seeds, textiles, arts and crafts of every variety. Greener green on the ground floor of Crew Hassan, with bar service running as usual (from 15h).”

If you are an artist and want to participate, send a private message to co-organizers Plataforma Germinal.

Vegans — we’re just kidding — you’re alright.
However, we can’t speak for chlorophyll.

FREE ENTRY.

DeBru describes itself as “an open space for the exchange of experiences, ideas, and perspectives. Designed to allow social interaction and remain open to different forms of expression, the space was designed by hand and in the most flexible way possible to maximize the possibilities of interaction and creativity of our employees. With a menu focused on local and independent products, DeBru seeks to inspire creativity and creative momentum by stimulating different ways of producing, collaborating, and living in a changing world.”

The biggest and still the best outdoor market in Lisbon, every Tuesday morning and Saturday pretty much all day. “Ladra” means “thief” – while you can get some nice artisanal jewelry, 17th-century tiles, copper pots, and vintage LPs, this is also THE market to replace your missing phone charger or stolen backpack, pick up some off-the-truck books, and haggle over Soviet gas masks. Best place for gramophones in Europe bar none.

Morning time is when things are particularly sketchy, if you like that sort of thing. By 9, it’s mostly very nice shoppers, very civilized and such. Bonus: excellent street musicians forming impromptu gypsy orchestras with some real class and skill.

Take 712, 734 and 28 Electrico tram, or go by taxi, who all know where it is.

Antiques of all kinds, some crafts and artisanal goods, both edible and wearable, all in a get-away-from-it-all setting.

Everyone’s selling antiques in Lisbon these days, and the market held in Jardim da Estrela every third Saturday carries much the same as many others: old brass handles, pieces of chandeliers, those African statuettes that no one wants, and the occasional treasure. Like most antique markets, this one also has a decent selection of artisanal jewelry and some food. What makes it special is the setting: this quiet park in a residential area of the city is a far cry from the hustle and bustle of Feira da Ladra or anything in the center. There’s a cafe right next to it if you need some liquid courage.

Feira dos Alfarrabistas (used book dealer fair) is a great place to break up the monotony of chain stores in Chiado and pick up something truly unique. Most books here are in Portuguese, but there are always gems in English and French and occasionally other languages. Several sellers also usually carry antique prints, old postcards, and maps. A very pleasant place to browse, and the prices are usually fairer than other markets.

As you probably already know, dinosaurs once roamed the Earth— but did you know that they roamed around Portugal? The Museum of Natural History is taking an intensive look at different types of dinosaur fossils and inviting you to get to know the regions of Portugal where they are most abundant. Learn about excavation work, laboratory preparation, and identification of the Allosaurus fossils found in Andrés (Pombal) and maybe you’ll get a better idea about just what was going on at this time 150 million years ago, and what dinosaurs have survived until today.

Note: Weekend hours are from 11h to 18h

From the organizers:

Allosaurus: in what regions of the planet were they discovered? What characteristics did these Dinosaurs have? The answer to this question leads to the reflection about the diets of the dinosaurs, their life habits, and the adaptations necessary for their survival. Since Allosaurus is a theropod, we can not forget that some dinosaurs of this group evolved acquiring avian characteristics. We are therefore led to the conclusion that not all of the dinosaurs were extinct 66 million years ago.

The best way to experience history is to live it. That’s why our friends at Live History offer you an immersive three-hour glimpse into two of the most historical, oldest, and most alive neighborhoods in Lisbon: Mouraria and Alfama.
Free of charge.

The guides are enthusiastic, charming polyglots. They’re funny, welcome and respond thoughtfully to questions, intimidatingly knowledgeable, easy to follow (both on foot and in thought), and truly seem to care.
Also, their only pay is the love of their city and your tip at the end. Remember, these are locals and, despite what AirBnB might believe, need to live here too. So tip well if you feel you’ve lived some history!

What to know:
-You can pre-book a spot on our Marketplace. Or if you’re reading this the morning of, you could try to meet them at 10h30 by the statue at the center of Praça Dom Pedro IV, also known as Rossio square.
-The guides wear white Live History t-shirts, have white umbrellas, and are dressed up as Portuguese crusaders and navigators if you’re lucky.
-Available languages: English / Spanish (languages on demand: Portuguese / French / Czech / Slovak).
-These are free walking tours. Donations welcome at the end.
-Comfortable shoes and a water bottle are advisable.

Contact them if you need more info, or “if you feel the need for your own private tailor-made tour.”

P.S.: If you’re worried about three hours up and down the eight (ask your guide) hills of Lisbon, we know for a fact that last August, in the sweltering heat, an American woman did the whole tour, effortlessly, with a smile on her face… a mere five days before giving birth.
