Episode 92: The photo enlarger
The photo enlarger of Núcleo de Arte Fotográfica do Técnico (NAF) helps us to see in greater detail more than 70 years of the history of NAF, founded in the 50s. Known for its laboratory open to the community and its photography courses, the group experienced one of its most memorable moments in 1993, during the violent police attacks on a group of students near the Portuguese Parliament, in Lisbon. The images were captured by the lenses of several Técnico students who managed to revive the student struggle and “show that something was wrong” when violence was used to silence a group of students.
