André Lima Araujo is comic author, in particular, about the stories of several heroes of the Marvel universe, but not only, "men plus" is his latest personal project that promotes a cyber world not so far from our reality as you might think.

How did this world of comics come into your life?
André Lima Araujo: I can not say when it started, since I can remember always liked animation and design, but prefer the comics that any other art form of storytelling.

But, you have a degree on the arts or not?
ALA: I have a course in architecture. I am architect.

So how did the opportunity to work for Marvel?
ALA: The comic was always something that interested me, but as in Portugal in terms of professional I did not have any professional output so I decide by
the safer option and took a degree. I finished architecture in 2009 when the country was at the peak of the crisis and the construction was reduced by 50%, today it is very difficult for a arquicteto get a job. So while looking for an internship decided to make a serious attempt in the world of comics, had some stories, but had never published anything, coincidental that year was one of Marvel editor in "Amadora BD", so I went there and showed him some drawings. I now have perfectly notion that those drawings had no quality to be published by marvel, yet it was enough for him to give me his email and we were in touch. Obviously it was a very great incentive and from there as an occupation I started drawing every day, more and more I was enthusiastic about these small contacts also started to publish my work online, I met more people and was kind of a snow ball that grew, however, Marvel's editor offered me a job, even though it coincided with my first job as an architect, decided to follow this course of BD, was set that goal and I been in marvel until today.

I know you draw for the avengers, a graphic novel, but what are your favorite characters from the Marvel universe?
ALA: From marvel universe has always Spiderman, was what I read in my childhood, although like the others, was always my favorite. Now I will participate in a new book that was recently announced called "spider verse" that will have a number of versions of this hero.

Naulila Luis created a brand of young jewelery, hip and technological, directed to a woman uninhibited and willing to be different.

How does the sushi name arise for your brand of fashion acessories?
Naulila Luís: The brand sushi appeared about 10 years ago. At that time only did brooches wrapped in felt inspired in a sushi form. These brooches with these forms, gave the name to the brand. The years passed and I was creating other forms and pieces using new technologies. However wanted to keep the brand name.

Betting on unusual materials, has always been that the initial idea? Or you were discovering the materials by any chance?
NL: I like to try other technologies, to challenge me, offer me new objectives within the brand and I doing it through new materials and technologies. Earlier the brooches were made manually. Then I used the laser cutting along with a manual production. And briefly in about 15 days we will be launching 4 new collections made entirely with 3D printers. This new collection is more "high tech" is made entirely by machines. In the background the brand, during these 10 years, followed the technology trends and manufacturing market. Follow the evolution of the technological world.

The ideas for the pieces appear from the materials, or are inspired in others?
NL: Both appear from the materials or many images I see. I think I have a comprehensive graphical culture, much is seen in various areas. I like to keep me updated in terms of culture, art, fashion, graphics and all this ends up influencing my work, having ideas is something innate in me comes out naturally without a greater effort.

Why choose laser?
NL: I think I answered somewhat in previous questions. Due to the like to try new materials and technologies, to offer me a new challenge. Thus design does not become a routine procedure.

It is a day that deserves a double congratulations from one woman to the world.

The International Women's Day is an important anniversary for me for several reasons, first because I'm a woman and I enjoy being one and unfortunately we must continue to mark this date in most cases not always for the best reasons as in the case of Portugal, the differences gender are still glaring, just look at the results of the latest study published by Pordata, which showed that there is a wage gap between men and women of about 30% and that this value is even greater today than in years 80! Can you believe it ?! I do not want also to underline the death of 26 women victims of domestic violence, a scourge that only shows that there is still much to be done in social and cultural terms to promote equality and respect for women in our country.
On a more global scale, I have to mention the millions of anonymous women who are trafficked every day, with no access to health care, education and a decent life and I want to emphasize that we must never forget the Nigerian girls who have not yet have been returned to their families. My words before these humanitarian tragedies seem so fragile, tiny and almost superfluous, but my pen, though virtual, remains my only ally in this unequal struggle.

However, today is also a day of celebration and great achievements, the yvi magazine, celebrates four years of existence, of hard work, with some battles won and lost others, but overall still with a very positive outcome and I must add that after a new analysis of the google analitics data I am beginning to think that my revolution begins in males, it is true, they continue to be the most "loyal" readers, 54.15% against women. In geographical terms, Portugal still in the lead, followed by Venezuela and surprisingly a creditable third place, stable, Brazil. In my remaining top 10, in descending order, I been read by Spain, USA, Bolivia, Colombia, Mexico, Germany and France. The latin america continued on the lead in terms of a larger impact, which I thank you and makes me very happy!

Patricia Tavares has an enviable resume as an actress that only due to his enormous talent and ability to give body and soul to her characters. Her physical frailty is just a mirage when compared to its delivery to the art of representation.

Patricia Tavares you recently played characters to your needs, which were thought for you, both in soap operas and movies, I'm remembering Celia Bald.
Patricia Tavares: That was not written for me, I had to do a casting, other colleagues also did and I was privileged to be part of this project with these wonderful people who are João Paulo Rodrigues, Pedro Alves, Nicolau, Melania and Alda.

It is curious that you are now select for more comic roles it was something that had not happened before, you did more dramatic characters.
PT: Yes, of some years now I have been able to add more drama and comedy.

You thought it was because they underestimated? That you were not an actress for comedy?
PT: I do not know what it was, I think people have to earn their space and I have been gaining mine.

These signature roles latest in comedy, happen because you prefer the genre, or you are more of a dramatic actress?
EN: Do not Know, I have no preference in terms of gender, I like doing comedy, amuses me more, is looser and has a fluid style, chases least my life because it is more immediate. The drama is denser, will go with you home sometimes, because the energy is heavier and not always you can leave the characters behind. The comedy in this respect is great, never carry them with me.

Capicua is the stage name Ana Matos Fernandes, a Portuguese rapper, seeking through the words to express emotions within them out by well rhythmic words that express her feminine and real universe, of shadow and light, but above all, is an emancipation cry of a "crazy Mermaid".

"Crazy Mermaid" is a quible? Because it is a crazy mermaid for shoes, but you can read up-to-I will be mad.
Capicua: Yeah, turns out to be a game of words, because I am very interested in this question of meaning also has to do with the find that the creative act is crazy, because we used something that is so personal and give it to people, we have to show it to yhe critics so we need courage and a certain kind of madness, why pick on our intimacy and expose it, or get something we liked and give it people with an open heart and I think that has a lot to do with it. Therefore, a certain amount of madness that makes us braver.

This record work is extremely feminine, lines of your universe of everything around you, always with your own very look, was on purpose when you started writing the lyrics of this album?
C: Yes, from the moment I started writing the feeling, the emotion, the feeling around the "crazy Mermaid" I realized it was going to be a very feminine, emotional drive, a little more mysterious and melancholic than the previous one the little lilac. Feeling it was my starting point, also wanted to do it in a seductive way, that does not portray women as a reductive form thereof or simplistic, wanted to speak of women in their diversity, in our reality. I thought the mermaid has everything to do with this idea, is mythologically is a seductive been, her singing makes sailors lose their heads, there is something evil at the same time and that side of shade and charm was something that interested me commit to the female universe, is this double facet of women I think lacks speaking about, because the pop music mystifies us somehow, in the sense that presents us as pleasant beings or hipersexualize and women are much more than that, are diverse, real and are not always perfect, are sad and it is worth stating that side of light and shadow, that impose was in album that came out, so it was conscious.

Underline this album is the fact that you are the only female rapper, in almost an all masculine universe.
C: I'm not the only one. What happens is that I have more visibility, but there are other women rapping in Portugal, within the esprecto of rappers women are in the minority, not only in rap, but also in other countries. What I think is important, is not out to me to be an exception, because I do not think that is fair in the sense that I do not want to be presented as such, I integrate myself in the group of rappers, female and male, and I do not think that gender is crucial to define the musical style, influence our way of being in the world and our perspective, but the music is much more than that. This issue in hip-hop is also widely spoken, but in other styles of music is the same, in rock, punk and reggae, or in competitive sport, nor in politics, not by coincidence, but for cultural reasons. We live in a patriarchal society that does not encourage women to win the public space, to be competitive, to ascend to leadership positions, to go up to a stage and to give your opinion and tell our righteousness. All these unstimulated features will make that there are still few women in all these areas.

It is interesting that you say that, because the reaction of the female audience to your concerts is bubbling. Your audience is mostly female?
C: I do not believe that.

The poetry of Regina drips down the paint like a river that is mercury, was once water. A wanderer route that created a melancholy inner universe at the same time euphoric that mark her words.

Nostalgia is one of the recurring themes in your poetry. There is perhaps a difference between the outer longing of our world, you feel it when you are out of Portugal and the inner longing, who inhabit the same territory, but misses something, or someone?
Regina Correia: The nostalgia dwells me since I am aware of me, in all its forms, is an unbearable physical pain is as a state of latent soul, melancholy, sadness, anger, desire, impotence, even euphoria, have to do with my travels alone from an early age thru the worlds. Became a crease in my being, inseparable from my body and my soul, far or near my space or my people. Traveled to Angola to Portugal with six years old, alone, delivered to a ship captain friend of my father, I did not know here began the stations of the cross of nostalgia.

Your writing appears only in periods of melancholy, sadness or pain? If not why?
RC: It may seem a cliché but the writing is born of an impulse, often uncontrollable, to enter a message body, a gesture, a word, an image, the laughter, the tears, the sensations, the conflicting feelings cause. Perhaps arises more in times of distress, given my nature to a certain melancholy fate of misfortune. But not necessarily.

Noted an increased need to write poetry when you were out of Portugal?
RC: "Poetry is something so intimate that cannot be defined," citing Jorge Luis Borges. Poetry springs from the depths, seizing the moment. It's like the ocean as it plunges, so that the body will emerge light and lost, even though the bars of existence remain on the horizon. The poem releases. It is the meaningful life. I write poetry ever since. Unprintable, for modesty. And having lived so many years out of Portugal, I edited booksthat include poems of these most times of solitude.

You must have lived to write poetry?
RC: You must live in the existential sense, with all senses alert, to write. To write poetry, especially.

The Salgadeiras gallery arises from Ana Matos impulse that following her instinct has been building quality and differential collection for the domestic market, but that does not stop there, there is also a clear commitment to international partnerships.

I questioned me as to why a person who comes from a completely different area decides to open a gallery and then I remembered your grandmother.
Ana Matos: Yes, everything comes a little from there. As the years go by it seems that we have returned more to childhood. To these principles we do not know very well where they come from and I not have much awareness of them throughout life, but then there is a turning point. Maybe it was because of the crisis of 40, I just turn 43 years olds, but when I think why this happens, it's nothing extraordinary, not very common so be it, the idea of having a gallery had much to do with work my grandmother, the fact that in my childhood have been very close to her and have followed her artistic activity. Her studio, the entire process of creation, it was something that was very close and that was part of my daily life. So go the exhibits, visit museums, see her work in the workshop all this was also part of my memories. Took account of the fact that my father had a gallery in Funchal, called "Funchália" in the late eighties, somehow it gave me some knowledge and that contact with the exhibits. So one day I was going to the hairdresser when I saw a small area, which had been a studio of an artist at the time decided to ask what were the conditions and I was able to bear them, got the space, it all began there in 1st of April of 2003.

Notice that you choose different types of artists, with different types of media and methods and do not follow a unifying line as do many gallery owners.
AM: When I opened the gallery there were two paths, there are galleries in Lisbon working specifically with a particular type of support, whether paper or photo and there are other generational type. To me does not interest me neither one nor the other, in reality the choice of artists, how do I get to them and invite them to participate is something very emotional. I cannot say exactly why I prefer one over the other, one can even show me the portfolio and the other not so, it is something very instinctive. Of course, then there's a framework, try to be as rational and objective to realize the type of work and their consistency. As a rule, the artists show me the series they are doing and with which they are satisfied, when I know the artist I see also what they do not like to show, what is backwards hidden and it helps me to undestand them, give them my interpretation and a story around the work. These are things that I could have at home, appears much of affection, taste and instinct and it defines the gallery style. I never wanted to be not exclusive to a particular artistic medium, but also wanted to not only work with emerging artists, or respected, like this mixture of painting and photography, the artist 70 next to twenties, or a fifty year old artist that paints for five years, is this mixture that interests me, I think what sets the gallery style is me.

Do you think the middle still looks at you with a certain bias? You are young, a woman and come from another area. Especially because in our country there is much talk of the lack of female artists.
AM: The generation of women artists of my grandmother are very few. Now, that's a little different, but curiously there are many galleries in Lisbon. If you did a quick analysis you will find many women, however, I never felt any prejudice, quite honestly, I do not think much of it, I felt more that gender issue because it I did not have training in the area. I noticed that my work was not taken seriously, it was brand new, came from the computer area and had a gallery, like a kind of hobby to pass the time. Indeed, I think it was one of the reasons for which I take an master's in curating because I felt I needed to solidify the things he had learned an empirical way and it was trial and error, when I opened the gallery knew nothing, not even like hanging a canvas, or how to put in a precarious. Five years of things go well and I feel even that was what I wanted to do, I decided to take a master's degree and I think among peers and artists, my work in the gallery was taken more seriously.

You now changed your space.
AM: This is another prejudice. The former was an area of 40 square meters, divided into two floors which became small. It is an area where I was very happy, it all started there, but for a contemporary art gallery in fact there are some rules to follow and there was a certain prejudice because it is a small space. Already limited the number of exhibits, the conditions under which works are and the work themselves, these three variables together were complicated, twelve years later decided to go to another space, a new bet, the Watchtower Street, which further strengthens all the effort and investment in recent years.

It is certainly one of the must of next season that is coming.

One of the elements I like on clothing are the stripes, whether horizontal, vertical, oblique, or wavy and no matter the thickness, either thinner or thicker, what matters is to see them in their dichromatic splendor that give tissues and irreprensível an immutable elegance and also it deep extend the silhouete. This season we will be invaded by various types of lines, however, you need to pay attention, the horizontal stripes as you know help "fatten" the most voluminous curves of women, so, if you are thinking on use in it do it with some moderation and common sense. Two Portuguese designers, Filipe Faísca and Carlos Gil presented in their collections pieces with this linear dynamic.

The round circles are other of the trends arising this spring. Also deserve my highlight, because what you do is mix them with stripes or other patterns. They are one of the classics of feminine clothing that never go out of fashion, although this season are in high demand and there are in all kinds of diameters and colors, to suit all tastes. The Manéis, Manuel Alves and José Manuel Gonçalves, in the latest fashion Lisbon showed dresses and skirts with various circles and styles.

The actor John Didelet is one of the most recognized faces of Portuguese television. With assignable carrier in various artistic fields, he celebrates his fifty years of age with the notion that there is still much to do and has no regrets about his vocation.

John Didelet represents the very common Portuguese, is the stereotype of the typical man born and raise in Portugal, do you identified somehow with that idea the public has of you?
John Didelet: I'll be honest, it is the first time that someone poses me this question. What do I think? In fact I always try that somehow my characters are based on the everyday life, now if this approach can be interpret as what it is to be Portuguese, I'm glad. But it was never in a rational way, by principle I like to observe my surroundings and then accordingly build a character, I will put it into practice, if that is what is being Portuguese I am pleased with this epithet.

You divided between comedy and also has done some dramatic roles, what is your favorite area? Although, the public associates it you again to comedy.
JD: I think as an actor in the global and broad sense of the matter, I feel the need to go to other records. I like to make people laugh, to feel the audience willing loosing a spontaneous laugh because of what me and my colleagues do on stage and I feel good about it. It is also true that completes me as an actor to do the less solar side, less bright life, because we laugh, but also wept throughout our existence, in this sense I feel the need to go to such records and already had this experience, is not only good to hear laugher, but also the silence, the ability of people to breathe and to shead some tears with us, is also part of the process.

But this talking is about the theater. It is your preferred medium?
JD: I'm talking about the theater, because it is a reference. Our relationship with the public is more immediate. On television we started recording before going into the air and only after a while that we have a sense of how the character reaches the public, how they see us. The theater has the phenomenon that if people laugh is because they like comedy, if it is drama they cry with us, it is in the right now. Television is after doing the series, or a soap opera or a sitcom that will air two or three months later and only then when we are walking on the street people come to us to give their feedback, there is a gap time. So it is that sometimes when we are asked for references of the public we usually refer this experience to the theater. It is true that I am very cherished and people always come talk to me, happens to me at that level, when I do tv show, or a series is a big hit we can say we have a million or more people seeing us. The theater has a smaller size, although it is more direct.

Is there any character who you would like to play as an actor? Or you think you do not have the maturity to do it just yet?
JD: At this moment I already have fifty years of age I already dare to say a few (laughs). For example, I would like to play King Lear of Shakespeare, to make "Waiting for Godot", that in the theater. But also liked films that addressed more our history, for example, ficcion a bit of more about recent events.

It is a short film conceived by the confederation a collective of theatrical research.

The collective of theater research had its first space of creation and programming in Miragaia, decided to open doors to the cinema with the projection Aniki-Bóbó, and immediately afterwards debut Variety, a show that has remained on the scene since then, having suffered various changes over the years. In 2010, the year of its foundation, launched the first edition, coordinated by Ana Miranda, called glances and the following year begins his continuing project called "Hestória (s) of Theatre", from which the relationship has worked theater- cinema. In February 2013 it moved to the Cathedral parish in OPorto, occupying the stage of CCOP. It currently has two films, 4 shows, 6 editions and 20 cycles of cinema. The Miragaya legend is one of the works that thay have decided to put online, an animation that is based on the legendary story of King Don Ramiro and a Solomonic love. It is an opportunity to watch a short silent film, which in plastic terms is very interesting. Have a nice movie.
