Description

Photography taken in July 2021 at Miradouro de São Bartolomeu in Bragança, Portugal. Nestled amidst picturesque landscapes, Bragança captivates with its charming blend of history and natural beauty. In the heart of the captivating region of Trás-os-Montes, the city unfolds a story of medieval allure, where cobbled streets wind through ancient architecture, revealing a rich cultural heritage. Beyond the castle walls, Bragança welcomes visitors to explore its local markets and savour the authentic flavours of Portuguese cuisine. In July 2021, during the covid-19 pandemic, I joined Francisco, the founder of os230, to travel about 2650 km in 18 days to the 18 continental districts of Portugal. Our purpose was to document the asymmetries and particularities of those regions, by a voluntary non-partisan movement that promotes literacy, capacity for scrutiny and proactivity among our population. We aimed to remind that democracy does not reside only with institutions but within all citizens who, through their proactivity, become key elements in the country’s development.
