"7th PRINTMAKING YEARLY EXHIBITION"
Macau Primary and Secondary School Students


The Rui Cunha Foundation opens today, Tuesday, June 2nd at 6:30pm, the “7th Macau Primary and Secondary School Students’ Printmaking Yearly Exhibition” with a set of 46 pieces created by circa 200 students of elementary and middle school, and selected by a professional jury of members of the Macau Youth of Printmaking Association, co-organizer of the event.

The competition, which received a total of 270 entries from 14 local schools, was the most participated ever since the competition began, continuing to promote the learning of the art of printmaking in the school environment, based on manual and traditional processes that aim to counteract the almost exclusive use of current digital techniques.

The works on display – winners in various categories – encompass several printing methods, including Relief, Intaglio, Screen Printing, and Lithography. The overall technical presentation and the use of print mediums show a significant leap forward compared to the previous year.

Printmaking has played an important role in cultural exchanges between China and the West in Macao. In modern History, letterpress, gravure, and lithographic printing have been introduced to mainland China through Macao. Up to now, it still influences the improvement of printing technology in China, while also stimulating the enthusiasm for printmaking creation, according to MYPA.

Printmaking is a replicable art media, which is more conducive to communication than painting, and allows more people to appreciate the original work in different places at the same time. Although the delicate gravure is very attractive, it needs professional printing equipment to be executed. However, relief-printing, stencil, and monotype prints do not require high equipment and still show a unique presentation.

The Macau Youth of Printmaking Association has been established for more than 20 years. The purpose of this association is to promote print art to the young generation, by holding exhibitions, workshops, promotions in school, and other activities, in order to involve the young people in Macau to develop a deeper understanding and to discover the talents of printmaking.

The artworks will be on display at the FRC Gallery only until Saturday, June 6th, 2026.

CIRCLE OF IDEAS
"The Role of Macau in Chinese Multilateralism"


The Rui Cunha Foundation presents today, Thursday, May 28th at 6:30pm, a session from the Circle of Ideas series, titled “The Role of Macau in Chinese Multilateralism”, with the participation of Prof. Cátia Miriam Costa, PhD, Researcher and Professor at the Centre for International Studies at ISCTE-IUL, in Portugal, as guest speaker.

The talk will focus on «Macau’s handover to China and the transformation of the territory's landscape, establishing it as a Special Administrative Region. Drawing on its historical ties with Portuguese-speaking countries during the period of Portuguese Administration, Macau emerged as a cosmopolitan territory, traditionally open to the world. This long-standing exposure to international connections explains the basis for the role that Beijing’s central government assigned to Macau», according to the conference’s proposal.

Consequently, the territory became «one of the para-diplomacy actors of China and the headquarters of the international organization it initiated, the Macau Forum. Recently, the central Government decided to broaden Macau’s privileged foreign affairs role to include relations with Spanish-speaking countries, which leads us to reflect on Macau’s role in Chinese multilateralism».

Prof. Cátia Miriam Costa is a renowned Researcher and Professor at the Centre for International Studies at ISCTE – University Institute of Lisbon, where she oversees the Global Politics and Security Group of Studies as Coordinator. She also directs the Chair of Inter-regionalism and Global Governance at the European Institute of International Studies, in Stockholm. Regularly, she collaborates with the University of Macau (Institute of European Studies and Institute for Global Studies and Public Administration) and also with the City University of Macau.

The session will be held in English.

LAW AND TECH TALKS
"From Data to Action:
Building AI-Driven Business Models in the GBA"


The Rui Cunha Foundation presents today, Wednesday, May 27th at 6:30pm, a new session of the Law & Tech Talks, titled “From Data to Action: Building AI-Driven Business Models in the GBA, China”, inserted in the new Data Protection and Governance series, under the recent partnership between FRC and USJ, in particular Department of Law and Public Policy of the Faculty of Business and Law at University of Saint Joseph, in Macau.

«Data is the new raw material of business, but data alone is not enough. Managers need to turn it into value. Companies are using Artificial Intelligence to build data-driven business models along a clear path: from raw data to insights to action», the USJ proposal states.

Three levels of analysis are highlighted. «First is Data-as-a-Service (DaaS), where companies access or share unprocessed data. Second is Information-as-a-Service (InfoaaS), which provides analyzed reports and dashboards. Third is Agent-as-a-Service (AaaS), which relies on AI agents that decide, automate, and execute».

The discussion will also explore three core issues relevant for future managers. «First, how GBA firms use data and AI to innovate their business models and create value. Second, how data providers, facilitators, and users interact with one another. Third, what ethical, regulatory, and compliance challenges firms face during data processing, with special attention to the GBA and Macao context».

Coordinated by Ansoumane Douty Diakité, Associate Professor and Head of the Department of Law and Public Policy at the Faculty of Management and Law (USJ), these talk series aim to bring together prominent scholars, practitioners, and policymakers to present their perspectives on emerging issues pertaining to data privacy, protection, and governance across different jurisdictions.

The guest speakers for this debate are Ted Choi, Director & Vice Chairman of Public Affairs at the Macao Computer Society; Terence Lee, President of Sustaincia, Macau; and Daniel Filipe Farinha, Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities of USJ. The moderator will be Alessandro Lampo, Professor & Head of the Department of Business Studies at the Faculty of Business and Law of University of Saint Joseph – Macau (USJ).

The talk will be held in English.

CONVERSAS SOBRE O LIVRO
"As Ilhas Desconhecidas"
Raul Brandão


A Fundação Rui Cunha apresenta hoje, terça-feira, dia 26 de Maio às 18:30, uma sessão intitulada “As Ilhas Desconhecidas”, no âmbito do ciclo Conversas sobre o Livro, co-organizada pelo Clube de Leitura da Associação dos Amigos do Livro em Macau. O tema escolhido é a obra com o mesmo nome, do jornalista e escritor português Raul Brandão (1867-1930), originalmente publicada em 1926.

O evento vai contar com a apresentação e introdução à obra por Frederico Rato, que convidou para esta conversa a participação especial de João Carronda, Miguel Quental e Diane Aguiar. O Clube de Leitura tem a porta aberta aos membros, mas também a todos os interessados e amantes dos livros.

A obra proposta para esta edição mensal foi “As Ilhas Desconhecidas” de Raul Brandão, um livro editado em 1926 que é um dos mais originais exemplares da escrita de viagem em Portugal, onde o autor traduziu a beleza das ilhas numa espécie de diário impressionista das paisagens insulares, famoso pelo realismo das descrições e pelo lirismo da linguagem.

Em 1924, Raul Brandão fez uma viagem aos arquipélagos dos Açores e da Madeira, juntamente com um grupo de intelectuais – entre eles Vitorino Nemésio –, quando tinha quase 60 anos de idade. Dessa visita, das suas impressões e anotações, surgiu esta obra onde descreveu com fulgor poético a beleza natural da paisagem e onde retratou a condição dos habitantes com melancolia e intensidade.

No prefácio da sua obra, o autor escreveu que «este livro é feito com notas de viagem, quase sem retoques. A p***s ampliei um ou outro quadro, procurando sempre não tirar a frescura às primeiras impressões. Tinha ouvido a um oficial de marinha que a paisagem do arquipélago valia a do Japão. E talvez valha...», considerou.

Raul Brandão foi um conceituado jornalista, escritor e dramaturgo, que deixou uma extensa obra literária e jornalística que influenciou a literatura em língua portuguesa com uma profundidade filosófica, marcada pelo compromisso ético e social, numa linguagem forte de contrastes, contradições e rupturas, prefigurando a modernidade do século XX.

Este evento será realizado em Português.

A entrada é livre.
