Life and work

Manuel Alegre de Melo Duarte was born on May 12, 1936, in Águeda. He completed his primary education in this city, later completing his secondary studies in Porto. As a high school student at Alexandre Herculano, he founded the newspaper Prelúdio with José Augusto Seabra.

After finishing high school, he went to study at the Faculty of Law of the University of Coimbra, then took advantage of his time at that higher school to create, with other university students, CITAC – Theatrical Initiation Center of the Academy of Coimbra – and join the TEUC – Student Theater of the University of Coimbra. In this city he was also an international swimming athlete, representing the Academic Association. During the same period he held several extracurricular roles: director of the academic newspaper A Briosa; member of the editorial team of Vértice magazine; collaborator of Via Latina. And he established himself as one of the most prominent leaders of the student movement at the Coimbra Academy.

After a military stay in Angola, he took up permanent residence in Coimbra. In the summer of 1964, fearing that he would again be the target of reprisals from Salazar's power, he went into exile in France, settling shortly afterwards in Algiers. In exile prolonged for 10 years, Alegre had an important political intervention. His literary works draw on this influence, having revealed themselves as important flags of resistance against Salazar's tyrannical regime. Many were set to music and sung by authors such as Zeca Afonso or Adriano Correia de Oliveira.

Sculptural Reading

Sculpture

Lioz White Marble. Image walking on waves, carrying a Portuguese ship under his arm.

Poetic Reading

There are three paths in his space that represent his exile and the use of the poetic word as a weapon of political intervention. The word as a condition for change, for participated citizenship.
