We met the artist Françoise Schein at the international conference GlazeArt (22 to 23 Feb) and asked her to record an AzLab podcast!

Professor Luís Afonso was distinguished with an honourable mention at the Andy Kelly Awards for the best article in the journal Viator - Medieval and Renaissance Studies. The article in question was "Sapi Export Ivories and Manueline Art: A Connected History" (Viator 52, no. 1). 

The ARTIS - Art History Institute (FLUL) newsletter (#02/2024 | February) is now available online.

Our guests are starting their doctoral theses and the AzLab podcast wanted to record the beginning of this journey, finding out what they are up to, what they aim to achieve, what they expect... Graça Silva is studying the Constância Ceramics Factory, based on a vast collection of materials collected after its closure in 2001, by a team from the National Azulejo Museum. Mariana Americano is researching the ornamental compositions known as albarradas, from the 17th and 18th centuries. Both work at the National Azulejo Museum and are doctoral candidates at Lisbon University's School of Arts and Humanities.

Applications open until 23 February, 2024.
