“EGYPT”,
an exhibition of photographs by Pedro
Barros and texts by Álvaro Figueiredo, is
currently on display at the Municipal Islamic Museum of Tavira (Núcleo
Islâmico do Museu Municipal de Tavira),
in Algarve, Portugal.
The
18 photographs by Pedro Barros take the viewer on a journey through a country with
a long and complex history, situated in a region of the world that bridges the
cultural spheres of Africa, the Near East and the Mediterranean, between the
ancient world of the pharaohs, the emperors of Rome and the caliphs of Islam,
and the modern Egypt that is lived in the streets, markets and cafes of Cairo
and Alexandria.
The
exhibition includes an introduction about the country and a short explanatory text
accompanying each photograph, in Portuguese and English, by Álvaro Figueiredo.
Open
to the public until 10 May, 2014, from Tuesday to Saturday, between 9h30/12h30
and 14h00/17h30.
