Sapatilhas: Presentation of the Exhibition Catalogue

The exhibition Sapatilhas: Marcas Portuguesas do Estado Novo ao Virar do Milénio presents a series of conversations, moderated by the curator Pedro Carvalho de Almeida, where issues related to the people, the objects, the culture, and the industry of sports footwear in Portugal will be debated.
The first talk will take place at Casa do Design, on 25th February, at 3:00 pm, and is dedicated to the contents and catalog of the exhibition. In a dialogue between the curator of the exhibition and Abhishek Chatterjee (ID+), José Bártolo (esad—idea) and Sara Paiva (Museu do Calçado), is proposed a reflection on the twenty years of research that led to the private collection of 500 pairs of trainers that are now exposed in the Casa do Design.
Between March and June, the role of the designer as a collector, the connections between design, industry, and craftsmanship, and also the challenges and opportunities in sustainable development will be discussed, in a program to be shared soon.
