The images from the 1st of May 1974 in Vila do Conde show the massive turnout to celebrate democratic freedom, in the first moment of public and free demonstration a few days after the 25th of April. This is the starting point for SEMPRE, histórias de liberdade (ALWAYS, freedom tales), which proposes a multidisciplinary collective project evocative of the times of April, based on the exploration of archives and personal collections gathered from those who lived through the revolution in Vila do Conde. From these testimonies, stories, images, and sounds collected in the first person, new narratives, reconstructions, and contemporary visions of this past are drawn up, promoting new reflections, new constructions on democracy, citizenship, and freedom. SEMPRE will be, above all, a celebration, which simultaneously seeks to project a future, to pass on the baton, calling on everyone to take part.

The SEMPRE project – which has its first performance on May 1st at 9.30 pm at the Vila do Conde Municipal Market – results from an initiative by the Cultural Association - Noites Claras, in partnership with Vila do Conde Town Council.
