Our winners today

🥇 Museu do Côa Interior - A&B Território o Homem e o Tempo / Riding Portugal by @onyfest

In the center of the room there is a lighter wooden structure, which actually looks more like what's left of a tree trunk, surrounded by thinner and irregular pieces scattered across the floor, and also some cement blocks. I stayed there for a while trying to understand the meaning or if it was simply a kind of art installation to support the documentary playing on the screens projected onto the black walls. A video was playing explaining the history of the dam that was built and the controversy surrounding its construction and negative effects. The subtitles in Portuguese and English alternate with loose phrases projected on the sides: "many small people, doing small things can change the world", "we believed in what we did", "this is the true importance of Côa", "united we fought against an empire". It's not exactly a traditional documentary, it's more of a succession of images and text that functions as a turning point within the exhibition.

🥈 Old Nice - The second part of the puzzle by @duskobgd

When you enter the old part of the city from the Promenade, you pass through gates with columns, a polished stone pavement or a passage on which there is a monument to Charles de Gaulle, next to a wall on which there is a plaque honoring Thomas Jefferaon, the American president who stayed in Nice.

🥉 [EN/PT] Museu Olimpio Campos by @elderdark

According to one of the museum attendants, the palace was inaugurated in 1863. She also explained that Emperor Dom Pedro II visited the site while it was still under construction. For many years, the building served as the headquarters of the Sergipe state government, but today it functions as a museum.
