This book links the author personal memories both of Mumtazz, the artist, and of a journey in Afghanistan, starting with Babur, the founder of the Mughal dynasty. Other places of the Mughal empire are invoked, including India. Sometimes, in the middle of the text, she draws watercolors linking memories and places.

First Portuguese Cinema Course description:
On the 50th Anniversary of the military (and peaceful) coup that overthrew the Portuguese Dictatorship, ending the last European colonial empire, we are going to look back at the filmic portrayal of this transition between eras. This selection intends to focus on the Portuguese Cinema of the 20th Century, with only three avant-garde movies that premiered at the end of the previous century, one fiction and two documentaries. Besides history of Portugal and of the Portuguese Cinema, the participants will gain new tools on how to critically address movies and think about cinema. In each session we will see a different film, presented by João Ribeirete and debated with all participants.
