Who We Are
IMAGO LISBOA – Photo Festival is organized by Cedilhas e Legendas – a non-profit cultural association. We are a group of people who use the visual arts, and particularly photography, as their tool for cultural activism. With different paths in the cultural area, our common interest in images brought us together and awakened the desire to move forward with this project.
What do we want
Photography has gained a growing presence in the visual arts and respective markets. Its functionality is diverse and complex. In addition to the arts, photographic recording is also linked to history, anthropology and science in general.
IMAGO LISBOA wants to contribute to:
Make known and emerging authors known.
Promote contemporary photography without forgetting knowledge of classic authors.
Stimulate reflection around the different territories of photography.
Create a platform for promoting younger authors.
To be a space of knowledge and construction, equality and freedom.
