APDCGM celebrates 2nd anniversary with exhibition and talks

To celebrate their 2nd anniversary, the Macau Guia Circuit Promotion and Development Association (APDCGM) is once again holding a series of events related to the Guia Circuit, its heritage and its importance in the context of the Macau SAR.

With these ideas in mind, on Monday evening an exhibition was inaugurated at the Ritz Building, located in Senado Square. The exhibition features works from several local artists and in different mediums. From photography to painting, sculpture and jewelry, the exhibition showcases works from 20 different artists, always with the Guia Circuit as the main motif.

The exhibition will be on display until Nov. 21.

Within the same space, a series of other activities are planned, including autograph sessions with driver Andre Couto, Formula 3 race winner in 2000 and Sir Kevin Bartlett, winner of the 1969 Grand Prix, as well as three talks with guests: historian Vincent Ho, architect Rui Leão and journalist João Guedes.

The guest speakers, according to their expertise, will address the main topic “The Guia Circuit and its Future,” in sessions held in Cantonese, English and Portuguese.

Dr. Ho kicks off the series with a talk in which he addresses the topics of the Circuit and heritage sites in Macau, the Grand Prix, media, the geography of Macau and the Macau Grand Prix as collective cultural heritage.

The following day, Leão will address the heritage of the Guia Circuit and on Nov. 19, Guedes will close the talk series by addressing several important historical moments that have shaped the city and its early roots.

All the activities are free admission. Talks will begin at 6p.m.
