Agenda

CIT in Esposende hosts Sónia Miranda's exhibition "Between Silence and Light"

‘Between Silence and Light’ is the title of the exhibition by Sónia Miranda, which will be on display at the Tourist Information Centre (CIT) in Esposende between 4 and 31 October.

The exhibition includes a collection of artistic works, including paintings, sculptures and images, which the author created over three years of study, research and experimentation in the field of fine arts. Born in the parish of Forjães, Sónia Miranda has a degree in Fine Arts and Artistic Technologies from the Higher School of Education of the Polytechnic Institute of Viana do Castelo (IPVC).

One of the themes that runs through a significant part of the works presented is the relationship with nature and its life cycles, as well as the emergence of an aesthetic and critical awareness of the contemporary world. The works thus propose a journey between silence – understood as a place of listening and contemplation – and light – as presence, revelation and manifestation of the visible. Ceramics, glass, layers of paint, plaster and wood invite active contemplation, a meditative gaze.

The exhibition will open next Saturday, 4 October, at 3.30 pm, and can be visited during the CIT's normal opening hours, i.e. Monday to Saturday, between 9 am and 5 pm.

This activity is part of the Action Plan for Sustainability, Growth and Competitiveness of Tourism in Esposende – 2023–2027 and falls within the scope of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the UN's 2030 Agenda.

This Christmas, Frederico Ferreira presents a show where magic, mentalism and humour come together in an interactive and unforgettable experience.

The mentalist's Christmas gifts come to life and build the narrative of the show, transforming every moment into surprise and enchantment.

The audience's choices are at the heart of this Christmas journey, where the impossible is revealed before your eyes and your mind.

Come and laugh, be moved, be amazed and experience the magic of the impossible on a unique night, full of mystery, enchantment and Christmas spirit.

Frederico Ferreira has been passionate about the art of illusionism since a young age. It all started when his grandfather gave him a magic handkerchief, awakening his interest in the pure enchantment that magic can bring. Over the years, Frederico has refined his art, studying tricks, manipulation techniques, mentalism and magical storytelling. His style is distinguished by a combination of suspense, mystery and subtle humour, in which each show is a journey: it is not just about showing tricks, but about telling a story, engaging audiences and leaving a mark. Frederico performs on stages everywhere, taking his name beyond borders with performances that combine visual spectacle with thought.
