[pt] Slow Motion Tours Culturando: Casa-Museu José Régio, Vila do Conde

Sendo uma importante referência literária portuguesa do sec.XX, José Régio é no entanto ainda bastante desconhecido e o seu legado está ainda longe de ser devidamente divulgado.

Assim sendo, a visita à Casa-Museu José Régio, em Vila do Conde, torna-se quase “obrigatório” e constitui uma excelente oportunidade de mergulhar um pouco no universo de Régio.

Entre objectos de cariz popular e religioso que o escritor colecionava e muitos livros é possível através desta visita mergulhar um pouco naquilo que terá sido a atmosfera que rodeou o autor enquanto compôs uma grande parte da sua obra.

Sem dúvida a visitar.

Como único aspecto a lamentar é algo imcompreensível porque é que, por alguma razão, não é permitida a captação de imagens no interior da casa. Daí a escassez de imagens nesta nota de divulgação.

Mais informações em: https://www.joseregio.pt/casa-de-jose-regio-vila-do-conde/

“Desde a sua construção até à posse por parte de José Régio, a casa foi sempre pertença do ramo familiar paterno. Por morte da “Madrinha” Libânia, no ano de 1928, o imóvel, por herança, veio para a posse do pai de José Régio, originando um novo ciclo quanto à utilização da casa. Esta fase terminaria com a morte do pai do poeta, ao qual sucede como único proprietário do imóvel.

Nos anos 60 do século XX, a casa sofre a última grande alteração, fruto da intervenção levada a cabo por José Régio, altura em que, definitivamente, adapta a casa aos seus gostos e de acordo com a funcionalidade desejada.

Após a sua morte, que aconteceu a 22 de dezembro de 1969, e depois de negociações com a sua família, a Câmara Municipal de Vila do Conde adquiriu a Casa do poeta, abrindo ao público a 17 de setembro de 1975.

A Casa de José Régio não é um espaço museológico de base, é antes de mais a residência que o poeta escolheu para habitar após a sua aposentação, refletindo a vontade do poeta, no modo e na forma como todos os objetos se encontram dispostos nos diferentes espaços.

No ano de 2005, a Câmara Municipal de Vila do Conde levou a efeito uma importante obra de beneficiação da Casa de José Régio, no sentido de garantir a estabilidade do edifício e, simultaneamente, criar condições de conservação ao importante acervo aí instalado. Paralelamente, na casa de Benilde, foi desenvolvida uma obra que visou a instalação do Centro de Estudos Regianos, para além de um conjunto de serviços de apoio à Casa de José Régio, tais como receção, sala de exposições temporárias e auditório.

A colaboração com o Centro de Estudos Regianos é fundamental para o aprofundar do conhecimento da vida e obra de José Régio, abrindo possibilidades a que investigadores possam organizar trabalhos de alto valor científico sobre o poeta”

SMT Douro (Douro River) - Along the Douro river bank secrets, legends and history

The Douro River can be, in many aspects, be considered like the “blood” running in the veins of Porto. Along history it has always been a very essential element and presence in Porto culture, economy, ecology and sociology. Also along many centuries Porto´s main way of communication with the Portugal north region but also the starting point for longer dangerous trips between Porto and other nations, mostly the main trading centers.

This tour is an opportunity to go through Douro right bank of Porto, eventually from Ribeira up to Foz with a different and deeper perspective. Going through different social, ecological but also historical aspects.

Find more about:

What are the main ecological problems of the Douro River. Its past as the Porto´s main communication way. Some of the most relevant events that here took place. Some of the most known important persons that were, one way or the other, connected with the Douro among many other relevant aspects of Porto and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.

SMT5 (Vitória B) - What other victories hides Vitória?

Vitória forms what can be considered a very significant part of the city heart. In this area of Vitória you can find several of the city traditional trade and shops. Also some of the most known monuments but this side of Vitória is much behind that … there are secrets and stories hidden in places that most part of the population passes trough every day without knowing or noticing … this Tour is an invitation to get to know several of them.

Find more about:

Where´s the old road connecting Porto and Santiago, the “Fearless General”, the court of justice standing in the place that used to be a … surprise!, the bakeries square, what´s a “mamarracho”, the oldest café in the city that is not the oldest café in the city and the oldest café in the city that is indeed the oldest café in the city, where´s the smallest house in Porto, where´s “Jardim de João Chagas” ? - the question that 99% of the locals will not know to answer, why Portugal entered on the I World War, among many other relevant aspects of Porto and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.

SMT1 (S.Nicolau) - Around the Douro River and its secrets

“Tourné” Viagem a um Porto em Extinção na Galiza / 2023-04-21a23

 

“Tourné” Viagem a um Porto em Extinção na Galiza / 2023-04-21a23

Viagem a um Porto em Extinção ou Perspectivas Ecosociais sobre o Porto das últimas décadas.

Ao longo de todo o nosso percurso e através do nosso trabalho tentamos sensibilizar para algumas das questões Ecosociais mais relevantes inerentes à nossa realidade local, sensibilizando, discutindo, alertando para algumas das questões mais importantes do nosso dia-a-dia (sociais, ecológica, econoómicas, etc.) e contribuindo para criar um novo modelo de “visitar” os locais e de viajar em geral.

São já muitas as pessoas que recebemos e “guiamos” pelas ruas da cidade do Porto e também já, cada vez mais, fora do Porto.

Mas algo que nunca tínhamos feito era “levar o Porto”, levar a realidade ecosocial do Porto (e da Área Metropolitana do Porto) para além dessa mesma área.

E tudo foi possível graças ao desafio que nos foi lançado pela Professora Maria Vilaverde com o apoio da Neves Nunez entre outr@s activist@s.

A convite e com a organização do Centro Social Mádia Leva de Lugo e da Escola de Idiomas (Turma de Português) de Lugo rumámos então à Galiza irmã.

As diversas sessões tiveram o seguinte alinhamento:

21 de Abril, 6ªfeira, 20h30 - CS A Pedreira, Pontevedra

22 de Abril, Sábado, 20h00 – CS Mádia Leva, Lugo

23 de Abril, Domingo, 12h00 – CS A Xebra, Burela

Foi uma experiência extraordinária que nos levou a mergulhar e pesquisar ainda mais na realidade Ecosocial do Porto das últimas décadas e a organizar essa informação sobre a forma de uma apresentação que, na verdade, ficamos agora com vontade de levar a outros lugares e apresentar também na própria Área Metropolitana do Porto (e não só). São na verdade assuntos extremamente relevantes para se compreender e discutir a realidade ecosocial não só do Porto mas também do próprio país.

A apresentação esteve a cargo de Pedro Jorge Pereira, partindo da análise e observação , assim como conhecimento muito directo da realidade da cidade (e área metropolitana em geral) obtida também a partir de muitas horas de Percursos em várias zonas do Porto, nomeadamente no seu Centro Histórico.

As apresentações decorreram sempre com um enorme interesse da parte das diversas audiências que colocaram questões de enorme interesse e importância, dando origem a debates muitos participados e animados.

Permitindo estabelecer também muitos pontos de comparação com a própria realidade de alguns dos locais mais pressionadas pelo fenómeno da gentrificação na Galiza, com especial destaque para Santiago de Compostela (que desta vez não fez parte da nossa “tourné”).

Um dos aspectos mais comoventes, dado todo o interesse e conhecimento demonstrado, é observar como a nossa cultura e realidade é, em muitos aspectos, por vezes muito mais valorizada na própria Galiza do que na nossa Área Metropolitana.

É na verdade incrível o interesse, paixão e conhecimento demonstrado pela cultura portuguesa, nomeadamente por parte de quem luta de uma forma tão notável pela defesa da própria cultura e identidade Galega, umbilicalmente ligada à portuguesa.

Deixamos aqui um testemunho recolhido CS A Xebra, de Burela

“as ilhas, os bairros sociais, a memória das muralhas medievais... tudo isto e mais foi-nos descoberto na palestra do último domingo, 'Viagem a um Porto em extinção', com pedro jorge pereira, guia de Slow Motion Tours”

é fácil encontrar os paralelismos entre a realidade portuense e a galega, sitiadas pela gentrificaçom dos espaços urbanos 🔮

por isso, com abondo tema de conversa para debater, enchemos o xebra numa sessom vermú solheira e alvoroçada 🌿🍹🫧

Depois de uma experiência tão gratificante e enriquecedora, fica no ar a vontade de aprofundar ainda mais laços e ligações com @s noss@s companheir@s da Galiza e sobretudo uma pergunta: Quando é a próxima oportunidade de (re)encontro?

Que desejamos de todo o coração que seja bem brevemente!

Matosinhos is a city since ever deeply connected to the sea. Known by its very authentic fishermen community, it´s a place with a lot to see and to get to know besides the coast and the beach it self. It´s still surprising how such an interesting place, so near from Porto, is still so much “out” of the touristic circuits.

Vila do Conde - A Journey into the portuguese Atlantic soul - SMT VC

Vila do Conde is a very particular city. Situated relatively close from Porto (about 20km) offers a very well preserved historical centre that transports us to the medieval times and to the roots of the Portuguese culture and history.

It´s known for its Fishermen community (the most known one in “Cachinas”), for the Bobbin Lace, for its Clarisse Convent, for the famous writers that chose it to live and to find inspiration.

In the sorroundings, in spite of all the progress of the most recent years, there´s still an interesting balance between rurality and urbanisation. Apart from that, Vila do Conde is situated in the rivermouth of the “Ave” River that represents a fundamental element for the entire region.

Find more about:

What makes the Cachinas fisherman community so particular? What sort of collection “José Régio” was so enthusiastic about? What was the relation of the “Santa Clara” Monastery with the Village. Join us and get to know why as many other relevant aspects of Vila do Conde and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.
