Episode 44: Técnico’s 100th Anniversary Serigraphs
The celebrations of Técnico’s 100th Anniversary, in 2011, also served as a pretext for a renovation of the Main Building and with it appeared two works of art by the painter Ana Vidigal which, still today, welcome those who enter the building. The serigraphs of the Centenary of Técnico are two large panels, made with collages from cutouts of frames of comics of the 1930s, which translate the diversity of Técnico. The stories around this moment also recall the exhibition “House of Secrets” that created a maze of lockers in the lobby of the Main Building. It was the largest School of Engineering in the country to return to the renaissance spirit of Alfredo Bensaude and to dialogue with works of art.
