Diário do Minho
Company organizes a Reading party for workers and university students.
The works of some of the poets honoured by the dst Grand Prize for Literature will be read at various locations around the city. The works of João Luís Barreto Guimarães, José Viale Moutinho and João Melo will thus be taken to various locations in the city, in an initiative that will take place on 18 and 22 November, at the Creche and the Home of the Brotherhood of Santa Cruz, as well as at Braga Hospital and Braga Prison.
“Reading in the Creche” starts on 18 November at 10 am at the Brotherhood of Santa Cruz creche. Aline Bei will star in a reading of a children’s story by José Viale Moutinho, winner of the dst 2024 Grand Prize for Literature for his work “Progressive Disappearance.”
Then it is on to the Brotherhood of Santa Cruz and “Ler no Lar” (Reading in the Senior Citizen’s Home) at 10.30 am, with a reading of poems from “Diário do Medo” (Diary of Fear) by João Melo, winner of the 2023 dstangola/Camões Literature Prize. This will also be enlivened by Aline Bei.
On the 19th, Gonçalo M. Tavares will be at the “Read at the Hospital” event in Braga reading poems from José Viale Moutinho’s “Progressive Disappearance,” a moment that will also be marked by the offer of a bookcase with two dozen books from the publisher Livros Cotovia, including novels, short stories and poetry.
Finally, on the 22nd, “Reading in Prison” takes Álvaro Cúria to Braga Prison to read poems from “Movement” by João Luís Barreto Guimarães, winner of the 2022 dst Grand Prize for Literature
In response to a challenge from the National Reading Plan (PNL), there will also be a reading party at the dstgroup campus in Braga for university students and employees of the group. This will take place on 21 November between 4.30 and 6.30 p.m.
Reading Party
This “reading party” will follow a meeting on reading with higher education students organized by the PNL as part of the Utopia Literary Festival, involving university students from all over the country taking part in the PNL’s network of higher education reading clubs, which funds around 50 clubs a year.
"I’m intensely searching for answers, in all fields, to the question: what is literature for? Literature frees those who are imprisoned because the thoughts fuelled by reading are not imprisoned. Literature is a therapist. Literature educates. Literature prolongs a healthy life. Literature is a party,” explains José Teixeira, president of the dstgroup.
It should be remembered that last year, as part of the 18th dst Grand Prize for Literature, the dstgroup launched its Ler ao Café (Reading at the Café) initiative, in which it gave away dozens of books to some of Braga’s most emblematic cafés and later, at the Utopia Literary Festival, launched the unprecedented “dst – alive in bookshops” initiative, which has brought authors to read extracts from their works in bookshops across the country, with the aim of bringing the community closer to literature, Portuguese authors, culture and the arts.
It should also be noted that in addition to this initiative, the dstgroup is promoting three other totally free events as part of the Utopia Literary Festival. For the inaugural session, to be held at the Espaço Vita, dst is inviting the writer and journalist Leïla Slimani. The following day, 16 November, she will host the 14th session of the dst - alive in bookshops initiative at the 100ª Página, with Julieta Monginho and Frederico Pedreira. Finally, on the 23rd, it is organizing a concert at Theatro Circo with the artist Johnny Hooker, followed by an after-party at Oboé with the DJs Amadeu Clasen and Monte.
Another surprise initiative as part of the festival will be announced shortly.
