Wildlife Photography at the New Bedford
NEWSLETTER 01 05.jan.2016 http://museu-angra.azores.gov.pt PRÉMIOS APOM: MELHOR SÍTIO DA INTERNET 2015, MENÇÃO HONROSA EM TRABALHO JORNALÍSTICO/MEDIA 2014 E MELHOR SERVIÇO EDUCATIVO 2013 The Angra do Heroísmo Museum presents Oasis by Nuno Sá | Wildlife Photography at the New Bedford Whaling Museum The MUSEU DE ANGRA DO HEROÍSMO presents the exhibition Oasis by Nuno Sá | Wildlife Photography, at New Bedford Whaling Museum, from January to June 2016, within the partnership with that North-American institution, aiming to narrow the bonds between the Azores Islands and the USA east coast community. The exhibition displays 24 large print underwater photos that show the splendor, the oddness and the beauty of the multiple creatures that live in the vastness of the Azorean sea and turn it into an unexpected oasis, known just by a few. This exhibition, which was held at MAH Sala do Capítulo and at Fórum Terceira from June to October 2014, was deposited at the Museu de Angra do Heroísmo, that has assured its itinerancy through the archipelago and also across borders, in the understanding that its documentary and artistic value is a great mean for the Azores touristic promotion. With its opening scheduled for January 7th, counting with the presence of the author, Nuno Sá, a photographer from Madeira Island and the director of Museu de Angra do Heroísmo, Jorge A. Paulus Bruno, this exhibition reasserts the maritime connection of two communities that are part of whaling history. In fact, a lot of Azoreans were engaged as crew in the North-American factory boats that sailed to Azores in the 18th and 19th centuries searching for those who Melville faced as “the best whale hunters”. As a way to pay a tribute to the role of the Portuguese and over all the Azorean in the whaling industry, the New Bedford promotes also a mini-marathon, within the celebration of the Moby Dick public reading 20th anniversary in which will be presented the Portuguese version of this book, with the participation of the director of Museu de Angra do Heroísmo.
