   As we walk through the streets of Bairro Alto, we’ll pause at a viewpoint to take in the stunning hills and landscape. Along the way, we’ll discuss how the LGBTQ+ neighborhood transforms from day to night, offering different experiences based on one’s level of access/privilege. We’ll delve into the patriarchal and colonial mindsets still present in society's behavior. Together, we’ll reflect on the questions: is inclusion in Portugal truly for everyone? Is there a way to make it better?

   Largo do Carmo

   Here, you’ll visit the site where the Portuguese revolution began and delve into the country’s dictatorship, the longest-lasting in Europe. We’ll explore how this regime shaped societal mindsets, enforcing a strict family model: a man, a wife, and happy children—nothing different. We’ll also highlight the resistance of key LGBTQ+ figures during this time.
