The Capitães-Generais Palace in Angra do Heroísmo will host a photography exhibition titled as "As Ilhas Desconhecidas" (The Unknown Islands) by Jorge Barros. The event will open on Thursday, June 20 at 6PM.
This itinerant exhibition will be open to the public at that historical building until the month of November; it will then travel to other Azorean islands.
A joint initiative of the Presidency of the Government, through the Coordination of Palace of the Presidency, and the Regional Directorate for Culture, the photography exhibition has already been showcased in Furnas in 2012 under the celebrations of the Day of the Azores that were held in the municipality of Povoação on São Miguel Island.
The opening session of the exhibition at the Capitães-Generais Palace features a lecture on the theme "Raúl Brandão e as Ilhas Desconhecidas” (Raúl Brandão and the Unknown Islands) by António Machado Pires.
