Mosaic Festival 2020

22 Nov. 2020


Do not miss the “Mosaic Festival 2020”!!

 

During the months of September, October and November, the Mosaic Festival 2020 will celebrate the aggregate heritage in the Mosaic Route – Conímbriga and Sicó, promoting discovery and dialogue with the Roman history and with one of its most surprising cultural expressions: the mosaic creative universe.

 

In addition to some face-to-face activities, there will be a series of workshops in which ‘traditional’ materials will be replaced by digital media. The aim will be to provide various creative activities, as well as access to various cultural contents, in a format in which the promotion of the mosaic to a public as wide as possible will be reconciled with the safeguarding of public health.

 

The digital tools developed by MosaicoLab specifically for the Mosaic Festival 2020 will allow reconciling the face-to-face aspect with distance participation, both within the local community, and in other regions of the country and Europe.

 

Interested?! 🙂

MosaicoLab | Mosaic – Conímbriga e Sicó

The project “Mosaico – Conímbriga and Sicó” involves an array of Creative Tourism activities based on the valuable Roman Mosaic Heritage present in the geographical axis constituted by the Ruins of the Roman city of Conímbriga, the Roman Villa of Rabaçal, and the Monumental Complex of Santiago da Guarda. The project spans three municipalities: Condeixa-a-Nova, Penela and Ansião.

The project is headquartered in the “Monographic Museum of Conímbriga – National Museum” – an important center for archaeological research, conservation, and restoration of Roman Mosaics. This project organizes cultural and creative activities within the museum, interpretative centers, and archaeological sites in its program of action. It promotes active visitor experiences that involve learning about the Roman Mosaic Heritage and affirming this as an expression of creativity brought into the present and reinterpreting it now and for the future.

The Roman Mosaic Heritage present in this territory is an important artistic and cultural testimony of different moments of Romanization in Portugal – rich in materials, techniques, decorative motifs, images and narratives – all inserted in a Cultural Landscape to be discovered.
