Your guide through the exhibition
We welcome you to the exhibition the portuguese prison photo project. With the help of this multimedia guide, you will get more information about the project, the photographs, the photographers, but also about today’s prisons and the historical and political prisons in parts H and P of the room. Listen to us – preferably with your headphones. In general, the spoken text doesn’t last more than a minute.
