SINOPSIS
“Ofícios de Lisboa” (Crafts of Lisbon) is the photography exhibition of Henrique Lemos Martins, of the project Faísca Gerador.
History tends to immortalize always the same kind of figures. These figures are, with all merit, thinkers, politicians, sportsmen, artists, doctors or engineers.
However, what defines time as well are all those that we tend to drop into oblivion but who have dedicated their whole lives to a fundamental craft for society, contributing in a unique way to progress. They are: lamp lighters, ice cutters or even telephony operators.
With this exhibition the author proposes to praise, honor and contextualize the history of the 20th century crafts that are in the process of extinction.
