    • Synopsis
    • Almirante Reis Avenue in three movements portrays this extensive artery of the city of Lisbon. Throughout the 20th century we delineate a map limited to the avenue’s memory of its space and to the experiences that happened and still happen there. The Almirante Reis Avenue could be like a time machine. We go up and down the avenue through archive pictures going back to its opening in 1908 and to the large crowds of the Republican rallies. We witness the 1st of May 1974. Between 2016 and 2018, we register the avenue in the present by following the everyday life of those who work and live there.
