AWARD
BOOK WITH CHAPTER BY COSTA VALENTE RECEIVES AWARD
The book Cento e Quarenta Anos do Teatro Aveirense [A hundred and forty years of Aveiro’s Theater], which features a chapter by CIAC researcher António Costa Valente, has just received another award. This time, the award was given by the Portuguese Association for Museology in a ceremony that took place last Friday (2 June 2023), in Sintra. The book received an Honorable mention in the category ‘Catalogue’.
Cento e Quarenta Anos do Teatro Aveirense was edited and published by the Municipality of Aveiro; one of its main goals is the dissemination of dozens of pieces from the vast archive of Aveiro’s Theater. These are pieces that date back to the theater’s foundation 140 years ago and carry over to the subsequent decades – including programs, posters, tickets, pieces titles, books, publicity ads, architecture floor plans, and photographs, among others – in a visual journey that reveals the theater’s intense activity across the years.
The chapter “O Cinema no Teatro Aveirense” by Costa Valente is available for reading here.
