The Portuguese Anthropological Association (APA) celebrates the World Anthropology Day & European Anthropology Days with an in-person celebration of our discipline and community. The celebration includes the annual APA guest lecture, the announcement of the 2023 APA prizes, and a party with food, drinks, and dance. The event will be held on February 22 at the Museum of Natural History and Science. This year’s guest speaker will be Nélia Dias, who will present the lecture “Oil Cultures and Heritage Cultures: Intersections, Impacts and Contemporary Legacies”. Nélia Dias presentation is part of the PITCH project – Petroculture’s Intersections with The Cultural Heritage sector in the context of green transitions.
The celebration takes place in a legendary historical venue at the heart of romantic Lisbon, namely in an auditorium – the Anfiteatro Chimico – of the Museum of Natural History and Science that survived a great fire in 1978, and where courses in natural history took place in the nineteenth century. The event is rounded off with a party, with DJ Lucky and Indian finger food by celebrated chef and author Bina Achoca.
