Tincal Lab Challenge 2024, Porto
This is a special year for Portugal. On April 25th of 2024, we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the end of a dictatorship that had lasted for more than 4 decades. Imagine waking up one day and the world has changed. But freedom is a volatile and fragile concept, 50 years later we cannot take it for granted.
The red carnation is the symbol of our April Revolution, for us a symbol of freedom.
But what does it mean to be free? What does freedom mean to you? How would you represent it?
The concept of freedom is diverse and complex. Political freedom (or the lack of it) can be associated with physical imprisonment, war, the tyranny of power. But we can also talk about freedom of expression, free will, freedom that promotes equality - after all, where does ours begin and the other's end?
Night, Dawn and Red
All peoples should have their red carnation
Brooch
This is the dawn I've been waiting for
The entire and clean starting day
Where we emerge from the night and the silence
And free we dwell in the substance of time
Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen (free translation)
Esta é a madrugada que eu esperava
O dia inicial inteiro e limpo
Onde emergimos da noite e do silêncio
E livres habitamos a substância do tempo
Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen
Freed Air
Now, even the air which is life, can pass beyond
Brooch
BREAK IT!
This brooch tells how every human being with the strenghth of his courage can break any limit imposed by an unjustly pre-costitued order
