March Presentation: Street Art in Portugal

Ted Timmons will give a presentation on Street Art in Portugal on Friday, March 1st, 2024.

 Santa Maria, Old Town Lagos, Algarve, Portugal

About the Presentation:

A southwest European nation sharing its eastern border with Spain and its western coastline with the Atlantic Ocean, Portugal may be well known for Port wine, cork and Cristiano Ronaldo. But there is a hidden gem of the fleeting, irreverent and unexpected street art surprises on the streets, on billboards, on façades and large walls in many cities and towns. These are true open-air galleries, where artists from around the world try to give life and colour to hidden-away places, with various techniques and messages by giving each place its own story. The presentation will explore some of the unique art available for all to see at no cost and provide some background into its origin and story.

About Ted:

Ted has been an active photographer for many years with a particular interest in the underwater world. His travel gear bag usually had a fisheye and macro lens. Unfortunately, for the past eighteen months or so his diving activities have been restricted. Travels took a different route and offered more time for local exploration on land. He developed an appreciation and interest in the street art that has left an indelible mark on urban landscapes worldwide. Not just the work itself but the mystery and intrigue of who did it, why put it there, and is there any hidden meaning. Street art takes the normal and makes it at leas a thousand time more interesting. It is easy to find examples and work by street artists on platforms like Instagram, but much for fun and interesting to do the exploring to find the actual works.
