Portugal Unveiled : Through the Doors of Time



This exhibit of photographs by travel photographer Liz Cardoso showcases the enchanting doors of Portugal, inviting you to explore the symbolism of Portugal’s vintage doors and reflect on the doors you encounter daily - the opportunities that present themselves, the challenges that may seem like closed doors, and the potential for growth and change.

 

The exhibit will be up on display in the Wallace Community Room from September 14th to October 15th.

 

And if you would like to learn more about her journey and the stories behind these photographs, meet Liz at her presentation "Sacred Doorways: Travel, Transition & Becoming at Midlife" on Wednesday, September 30th at 6:30 pm!
