The exhibition will be on display in the atrium of the Lagos Town Hall until July 10th, later traveling to Lagoa, Vila do Bispo, and Portimão, on dates to be announced, reinforcing the connection between academia, municipalities, and the community through the public dissemination of the finalist works.
