It was opened today at the Funchal Cultural and Research Center for Arts and Design Arts in Senchal 2025, where the “Intensive and Various” program started with the “Environmental Design: Postropocene drawing”, which contains about 200 artifacts.
This occasion recorded the presence of the regional prime minister, Miguel Albukirk, among other entities. CMF claims that he wants every two years to be a “trademark” and a national and international reference, such as Funchal.
The investment of 450,000 euros, which displays every two years, which shows more than 600 works, for more than three months, from March 25 to June 29, represents “converting the foneliness into a dynamic stage that emerges for cultural diversity and sustainability”, one of the main flags of the current municipality.
Christina Pedra recalled that the event was designed from the beginning of the mandate as a way to enhance culture in Funchal, which enhances its role as a “engine for social, economic and human development.”
With the presence of the Minister of Culture, Dalila Rodrigues, it will last every two years, with the opening of another “communication” exhibition today, which brings together 180 artifacts, at the Queena Magnolia Cultural Center, and the continuation of a program that will travel all the Diocese of the province, with the aim of involving the entire city, its employees and visitors.
Christina Pedra thanked all the two participants in the two -year contract, who, with her commitment, contributed to this event, highlighting the contribution of coordinator Francisco Varia Bolino, coordinator Susanna Gonzaga and designer of Madirin Nini Andradi.
The head of the Funchuele has reiterated the commitment of the current executive authority of culture. In 2025, 3.5 million euros were allocated from the municipal budget for this sector.
On this occasion, Miguel Albukirk said he was aiming at this every two years for many years, and the brand of Madeira as an important exhibition had a cultural life for RAM for many years. Art and design represents values, additive and important in current modern societies.
“There is no doubt that today we have a group of designers and artists today with great talent,” he said. “We have to appreciate this talent (…)”, motivated.
