The exhibition by Dinis Cortes includes several works relating to the Algarve region, «with particular emphasis on the territory of the current municipality of Vila do Bispo, exploring the exceptional local theme “Megalitism and Menhirs of Prehistory”».
The visual proposals «are complemented by an expository narrative with a chronocultural framework», explains Vila do Bispo Chamber.
In addition to the presentation of the exhibition, the session was attended by Manuel Calado, pre- and proto-historian, who gave the lecture “The Stone Snake and the Sex of the Angels: a reading of the iconography of the Algarve menhirs”. Manuel Calado «has dedicated a large part of his career as an archaeologist to the knowledge of Megalithic Culture, in particular the menhirs of Central Alentejo», concludes the municipality.
