What is thought and done in the arts and design is also published.
From 21 August to 6 September, we’ll be taking over the Porto Book Fair with books, ideas and different ways of thinking and creating.
At stand no. 143 (between the Super Bock Arena ramp and Negra Café), you’ll find our publications dedicated to research, experimentation and contemporary practice in the arts and design.
There are books to discover, authors to listen to and ideas to discuss. Our programme includes two talks with authors, designers and researchers, ‘book of the day’ offers with up to 50 per cent off, merchandise and a creative, educational and cultural ecosystem to explore.
And if, as well as reading, you’d like to start creating, you can also find out more about our courses and get answers to your questions.
Come and visit us at the Porto Book Fair.
Come and read, think and make your mark.
