The University of Macau’s (UM) Chinese-Portuguese Bilingual Teaching and Training Centre of the Department of Portuguese is holding an exhibition titled ‘Voices, Glances, Memories: Commemoration of the Centenary of José Cardoso Pires’ to celebrate the centenary of the birth of José Cardoso Pires, an eminent Portuguese literary figure who reshaped the landscape of modern Portuguese literature through his incisive words and profound reflections on human nature, according to the university.
Pires (1925-1998) was an indispensable figure in 20th-century Portuguese literature, UM has pointed out. His works offer profound analyses of the complex interplay between power, identity, and memory. Through his distinctive narrative style and keen social observation, Pires chronicled Portugal’s social transformations and the destinies of its people during the second half of the 20th century.
The exhibition is held at the Sky Garden on the second floor of the UM Wu Yee Sun Library (E2). It is open daily from 9 am to 8:30 pm until 19 December.
