Moderated: Ricardo Alexandre, journalist
With: João Pina, Pedro Matos and Selma Uamusse

Do we only know how to value a dark night, retroactively as a memory, when we didn't have it and hardly dared to dream of it? Are we giving it up when we take it for granted in a present saturated with images that, not long ago, would have seemed to us pure fiction? What value do we give to the memory of the struggles for love of freedom? Why do we need it for a cosmopolitan and inclusive culture, where identity is built on a palette of colours and not on monochrome territories of the self? And can there be freedom without bread? What does the food emergency in the world say about the way we live?

These and other questions are discussed by Pedro Matos, a geographer who became a humanitarian worker at the UN; João Pina, a photojournalist who works on memory (from Operation Condor to Tarrafal, through wars between peoples, and between people from the same city); and Selma Uamusse, an engineer who in music embraces the freedom of art.
