Synopsis

Send me Letters is a photographic record of the beauty found on the doors of houses still displaying letterboxes embossed with the word "CARTAS", awakening in us reminiscenses of a time gone by - when feelings wew conveyed on paper. Of a time when each word had its own particular meaning and written letters were valuable simply by existing.

Description

After we read Herman Melville's Typee, based on his personal experiences among tattooed cannibals from the Marquesas Islands; after we have flipped through Ray Bradbury's Illustrated Man, where a body filled with drawings has the power to tell stories and predict the future; after having seen a documentary about Ötzi - the Tyrolean Iceman mummy, decorated with 61 tattoos; and after we had a good laugh with a Shin Chan's episode about a Yakuza boss painted from head to toe, we decided to make this notebook.

Two men and two women of different complexions, created after Albrecht Dürer's drawings, appear in various poses ready to be tattooed over the 48 pages notebook.

Luís Leal Miranda

Synopsis

Language is a constantly changing process. For some reason, because of stubbornness, because we are boring, squares or simply because of the original ways we were shocked by the new, we are naturally averse to changes in the dictionary. Language changes, oral and written, and with it words. It hurts, but there's no harm in it. We need new words for new maladies, mundane needs and tasks that are complicated to explain. It was with this in mind that Luís Leal Miranda created the New Words New, a Tumblr / Facebook page, which was growing with these new words and this year gave shape to the "Dictionary of the Portuguese Language".

Luís Leal Miranda did not stop there and created a publishing house along with La Lavandaria. Livraria Plutão was born, with two books that provide more solutions for words, their meanings, letters and their symbology. They are almost objects of art, the work of Luís and Lavandaria goes beyond the mere resort of entertainment, fun or simple wordplay. Both in "New Contemporary Portuguese Alphabet" and "The Secret Alphabet Letters" there are solutions to problems, resources to think about what we say, think and see. And it's simple, like the best good things. And it is good to realize what a "lake of earth" is.

Léo Ferré

Synopsis

His satirical humor undoes language, religion, marriage, urbanism, power and the exploitation of labor but also revolts and revolutions recovered and digested. This poem was important to many people who heard it: it makes you think. It is almost a summary of Ferré's thought at a given historical moment. It is the first Portuguese translation. After his concert at the Coliseu dos Recreios in Lisbon in 1982, several texts - prose and poetry - were published and published by Ulmeiro in 1984.

This larger poem is missing. His writing is a fierce, touching beauty with phrases phrased, unexpected, elided, filled with neologisms, popular expressions and slang. He is a great poet and singer to discover.
