Lisbon, Portugal

The Portuguese Anthropological Association (APA) celebrated the World Anthropology Day & European Anthropology Days with an in-person celebration of our discipline and community. The celebration included the annual APA guest lecture, the announcement of the 2023 APA prizes, and a party with food, drinks, and dance. The event was held on February 22 at the Museum of Natural History and Science. This year’s guest speaker was Nélia Dias, who presented 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 took 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 was rounded off with a party, with DJ Lucky and Indian finger food by celebrated chef and author Bina Achoca.
