Join us at Good Company Bookstore for an Art Exhibition Opening, featuring the work of Márcia Mendes!

In her exhibit&nbsp;Terras de Pano, Márcia Mendes handles string as relational technology and looks for a practice where gesture no longer produces objects, but rather ways of being. She finds in weaving and embroidery choreographies that restructure thought and feeling. For there is repetition.

Resignification with repetition. What is the repetition for? 

For her liking of things, that carries her from land to land, port to port, stitch to stitch. Keeping the scale loyal to the journey: lightweight. The lines and strings gain shape in the unsubmissive care of hands that try to be and to leave. The loom was the first machine able to read in black and white, while women revealed themselves a creature able to turn the gestures which captured her into gestures of being.&nbsp;

Márcia Mendes is a Portuguese artist working with installation, performance, and collaborative practices. She holds a degree in Fashion and Textile Design from the School of Applied Arts of Castelo Branco, and has worked as a textile teacher at the Artistic School António Arroio in Lisbon. Teaching became an important space for reflection and experimentation, leading her to explore the performative aspects of textiles, not only as materials, but as tools for interaction.

She is currently pursuing a Master’s in Contemporary Art Practice at the Bern University of the Arts, in Switzerland, and investigates the ways in which body, textile, and technology relate, developing new territories of confrontation and reconnection.

19:00 – Exhibit opens. Order a drink, mingle, and take in the artwork.

Kids Storytime 

Wine Tasting in Good Company of Caverna do Vinho - Two estates. One glass. Come find the overlap!

Some wine stories begin in the same place. This one begins far apart — and somehow ends up in the same glass.

On September 5th, we’re bringing together two estates from two very different corners of Europe, connected by an unexpected common thread. Both estates were built from scratch by winemakers trained in Burgundy who left to make something entirely their own: natural wines, made with as little intervention as possible, letting the “terroir” speak for itself.

In the Corbières, in the south of France, Laetitia Ourliac and Rodolphe Gianesini farm Carignan, Grenache and Syrah organically at Fond Cyprès. Old vines, a wild Mediterranean landscape, and soils rich in limestone. Their wines are fresh, expressive, and made with no shortcuts and minimal intervention.

Far away, in Gradoli, central Italy, Gianmarco Antonuzzi and Clémentine Bouveron work the volcanic soils of Le Coste, growing indigenous Italian varieties using biodynamic farming — organic farming taken a step further, following the rhythms of nature. Their bottles have become some of the most talked-about names in Italy’s natural wine movement.

Different countries, grapes and soils. Same philosophy: touch the wine as little as possible, and let the place, the vintage and the grape do the talking.

Two estates. One glass. Come find the overlap.

Hosted by Leandro Alencar, with wines presented by Caverna do Vinho.

Space is limited, so please reserve your spot! Tickets include a guided tasting plus snacks. Additional wines will be available to purchase by glass or bottle.

Please note, there are 2 time slots; at 18:00 and 19:30 for you to pick from when purchasing the ticket!

By Metro:&nbsp;We're situated a 5-minute walk from the Campo Pequeno metro (Yellow line) and a 10-minute walk from the Alameda metro (Green &amp; Red lines).

By Bus:&nbsp;There are many convenient bus options 2 blocks away from us on Avenida República, with the closest stop to our store being Campo Pequeno-Av. Republica.

Wines from France and Italy: Written with Minimal Intervention

Join us for an evening of books, conversation, and community as we dive into queer literature!

Book of the Month:&nbsp;Girl, Woman, Other&nbsp;by Bernardine Evaristo

About the Book:&nbsp;From Newcastle to Cornwall, from the birth of the twentieth century to the teens of the twenty-first,&nbsp;Girl, Woman, Otherfollows a cast of twelve characters on their personal journeys through this country and the last hundred years. They're each looking for something - a shared past, an unexpected future, a place to call home, somewhere to fit in, a lover, a missed mother, a lost father, even just a touch of hope...

Queer Book Club 

This workshop is made of 3 sessions and is meant for anyone who wants to tell a story, gather up some thoughts, list a number of facts or just pile up ideas. The goal is to take time to research our own “cork boards”, and turn each finding into something meaningful and tangible. A zine is a playful, cheap and powerful way of doing so: you can copy it as many times as you like, give it as a gift, sell it, swap it with fellow ziners, or just keep it as a self-souvenir. Most of all, this workshop is about cherishing your own gaze.&nbsp;

Each participant will be encouraged to follow and research their own gaze, writing down or drawing something that has recently caught their attention. The first goal is to spend time with our thoughts so as to turn them into some kind of narrative, which will then be the zine’s core. The second goal is to learn the main steps on how to create a zine/perzine and make your own master copy.

Two of my favorite human skills are the acts of noticing and collecting things. Everyone has their own way of doing it. We are born with this set of abilities, just like we’re born with different fingerprints.&nbsp;

We don’t know why we notice certain things. It just happens. A broken voice on the telephone; a half-eaten apple left on a table; a funny sneeze; a missing tooth; a smiling socket; a group of swallows flying in circles. More often than not, we do nothing about it and we just let these sounds, images and sensations quietly pass by. But somewhere in our heads, there’s a cork board where we are slowly gathering some of these fragments of life. We give them meaning and, in turn, they give us meaning — we are the things we collect.&nbsp;

The fun part happens when we start paying attention to what, how, and when we notice and collect. We begin to see patterns, to understand deeper meanings, and to consciously practice our curiosity. Just like adding post-its on a book, underlining sentences or taking notes. It is through noticing and collecting that we find and create new things.

Zine Workshop includes 3 sessions, each 2 hours-long. Find a brief description of each session below.&nbsp;

• Am I writing a story or just gathering up some thoughts?

• Is it going to be a single copy or not?

Ticket for 3 sessions is 100 euros and includes all the materials needed for each session and an attentive and experienced &nbsp;guidance of Madalena on your zine making journey!&nbsp;

Zine Workshop "I am my own book" with Madalena Tamen 

Join us at&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/goodcompanybookstore/" target="_blank">Good Company Bookstore&nbsp;</a>for an intimate evening of live music, where storytelling and melody come together in a cosy bookshop setting. With a glass of wine in hand, settle in and let two incredible artists transport you with their heartfelt performances.

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/roberto_montisano/" target="_blank">Roberto Montisano</a>&nbsp;is an Italian singer-songwriter and musician who lives between Italy and Portugal. His music blends indie rock guitars, dream-pop synths, and an uneasy sense of nostalgia.

Roberto's songs tell stories of everyday gestures, alienating work, the swelling tide, and the silhouette of a loved one—a mix of sunshine and rain, a gentle melancholy that reflects both the hardships and the beauty of being alive.

<a href="https://www.instagram.com/santosfalcao" target="_blank">Gabriel Falcão</a>&nbsp;is a Brazilian multi-artist, nature lover, and passionate advocate for community spirit. With percussive and rhythmic roots, Gab also incorporates immersive and exciting melodies into his music. His lyrics reflect his life lessons and experiences. Fire and dance are integral parts of his artistic expression, seamlessly intertwined with his music.

6.45pm&nbsp;- Doors open. Grab a drink and snack and say hello before the music starts.

7.15pm&nbsp;- The music will begin. Chairs are first come, first serve but we also have plenty of standing and floor seating space available. Two artists will perform with a short interval in between.

9.00pm&nbsp;- The show should be finished.

Our shows often sell out so we strongly suggest purchasing tickets online beforehand. However, if we are not sold out, tickets will also be available at the door. Chairs are first come, first serve but we also have plenty of standing and floor seating space available.

By Bike: If you're using the Gira public bicycles, there is a docking station right across the street (#431 - Rua do Arco Cego / Av. Magalhães Lima).

Live Music Concert with Roberto Montisano & Gabriel Falcão

Join us with your kids for a creative and fun Art Workshops on Sunday morning at Good Company Bookstore!

Our workshop arises as an extension of the reading sessions that take place on Saturday mornings at&nbsp;Good Company Bookstore. The objective is to give body to the inner world of each participant, whether from the stories heard the previous week or from the need to transpose their own fantasies into shapes, colors, and textures.

One image. Then another. Then five more, and so on: from just a single plate, we can repeat our drawings onto a sheet of paper as many times as we want. In this workshop, we will use more accessible materials like EVA and Styrofoam to replicate the linocut printing process.With the help of a pencil, participants will carve into the material to create their design. When printing, we apply ink to the plate: the ink stays only on the raised areas that were not touched, while the pencil grooves remain blank. Finally, we press the matrix onto a sheet of paper to transfer the image, thus obtaining successive copies of the same original.

The event has a cost of 7 euros (+tax). We ask that you make the reservation in advance so we can prepare enough materials for all the little artists. Please select how many adults will accompany. If you cannot attend, we ask that you cancel your ticket so that others can join.

Each session is unique and offers a structured script, designed to guide each child in the exploration of the contours of their imagination. We are going to discover different themes, techniques, and supports in each encounter. Here, we demystify the idea of "not having a knack" or "I can't" and we celebrate experimentation as an essential part of the process.

Nothing special, just bring your curiosity! We provide all the necessary materials to materialize ideas into physical creations.

This workshop is for all children who want to expand their creative horizons through art. So that they feel safe and integrated, parents and caregivers are welcome to accompany the sessions.

The project is open to suggestions! Our hostess, Margarida, will be attentive to the tastes and proposals of each child, in order to shape her offer to our little artists.

Kids Art Workshop: Print party

We invite you to join the conversation with Alex Brostoff, the translator of Antônio Bispo dos Santos’s "The Earth Gives, the Earth Wants"!

This book by the late Brazilian activist and quilombo leader Antônio Bispo dos Santos offers an original perspective on ways of living and relating to others and to the land that is rooted in a quilombo cosmovision – the polytheistic, counter-colonial, confluential worldview articulated by Bispo through quilombola thinking in Brazil. It presents a fresh critique of capitalism and colonialism that emerges from a quilombola perspective.

Nêgo Bispo lays out a set of terms and concepts developed over his lifetime, based on ancestral quilombola knowledge. His key concept is "counter-colonialism" – a practice of confronting and undoing colonial domination through quilombola modes of life, struggle, and thought. He argues that the hyper-individualistic, capitalistic, colonial approach to cultivating the earth sees the land as subservient to its desires. A quilombo cosmovision, by contrast, understands that our desires are always in dialogue with the wants and needs of the earth – we must live in harmony with the earth, animals, and people, and if we take from the earth, we must also give to the earth.

This remarkable book introduces anew perspective on the debates about the destructive consequences of capitalism and colonialism and will be of interest to anyone who wants to think about how we live in relation to each other and to the earth.

Alex Brostoff&nbsp;is a writer, translator, and educator. They’ve translated a range of literary nonfiction and critical theory from Spanish and Portuguese, including Indigenous leader Ailton Krenak's&nbsp;Ancestral Future&nbsp;(Polity Press, 2024) and Brazilian activist Nêgo Bispo's&nbsp;The Earth Gives, the Earth Wants&nbsp;(Polity Press, 2026). They are co-editor of the collection&nbsp;Autotheories&nbsp;(The MIT Press, 2025) and have guest-edited "Autotheory," a special issue of&nbsp;ASAP/Journal(2021) and "Trans Literatures," a special issue of the journal&nbsp;College Literature&nbsp;(2025). Brostoff's first book,&nbsp;The Autotheory Effect, is forthcoming with Columbia University Press. They are currently Assistant Professor of English and Women’s and Gender Studies at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C. and a visiting scholar at the University of Lisbon.

Salomé Honório&nbsp;is a poet and independent researcher based in Lisbon, Portugal. They are a co-founding member of Quir Research Hub, an ongoing collaborator with the Center for Comparative Studies, and a member of the Urban Transitions Hub. Their work departs from core commitments to the intersectional and interdisciplinary critique of dominant epistemologies of representation. Their current research focuses on autofictional and autotheoretical works by trans and queer writers, theorists, and artists across Portugal, Brazil, France, and the US. They are the author of&nbsp;Lábio/Abril&nbsp;(Traveller, 2015),&nbsp;fox, closet &amp; fist&nbsp;(Face Press, 2023, 2nd ed.), and&nbsp;Raposina&nbsp;(Douda Correria, 2024).

In conversation with Alex Brostoff: Nêgo Bispo & Counter-Colonialism

Join us for an evening of books, conversation, and community as we dive celebrate works of lusophone authors!

Hosted in English but readers are welcome to read in both the Portuguese original and the English translation.

Here at&nbsp;Good Company, we are passionate about translations, especially of Lusophone authors. That's why we wanted to start this book club, to further our community by exploring the multicultural literary traditions, and the beauty of the Portuguese language.

Book of the month: The Book of Disquiet by Fernando Pessoa&nbsp;

<a href="https://goodcompanybooks.com/shop/product/the-book-of-disquiet-1/57979813364093" target="_blank">Translated by Richard Zenith&nbsp;</a>

<a href="https://goodcompanybooks.com/shop/product/the-book-of-disquiet/41554305384534" target="_blank">Translated by Margaret Jull Costa&nbsp;</a>

About the Book: Fernando Pessoa's&nbsp;The Book of Disquiet&nbsp;is a modernist masterwork that has now taken on a similar iconic status to&nbsp;Ulysses,&nbsp;The Trial&nbsp;or&nbsp;In Search of Lost Time.

Fernando Pessoa, strictly speaking, doesn't exist,' - so claimed Alvaro de Campos, one of the "heteronyms", fully-realised substitute personalities invented by Fernando Pessoa to spare himself the trouble of living real life. In this extraordinary book, the putative "factless autobiography" of an accountant named Bernardo Soares, Fernando Pessoa explores and dismantles the nature of memory, identity, time and narrative, creating one of the greatest - but also the strangest - modernist texts.

An assembly of sometimes-linked fragments,&nbsp;The Book of Disquiet&nbsp;is a mesmerising, haunting "novel" without parallel in any other culture.&nbsp;

Círculo de Poesia

Grab your book and your coffee, it's book club time with your host, Leonor Galão at Good Company Bookstore!

We meet on Sunday mornings, once a month, to talk about&nbsp;memory and identity. Reading the book fully is encouraged, but if you haven't finished it, or you've lost the habit of reading altogether, why not give this book club a chance? Come as you are, whether you've read every page or just want to hear people talk about a good book over coffee.

Note from your hostess,&nbsp;Leonor&nbsp;Galão:

Since I learned how to read, I've been carrying a book with me; it's just how I've always moved through the world. I run&nbsp;<a href="https://www.instagram.com/a_raposa_matreira_/" target="_blank">@a_raposa_matreira_</a>, a bookstagram where I share what I'm reading and talk about books across cultures. I've organised book clubs in Italy, and they taught me that nothing is as special as bonding over a book.

The Renovation&nbsp;by Kenan Orhan&nbsp;follows Dilara, a Turkish exile living in Italy, as her family unravels around her father's declining health and a home renovation that doesn't go as planned. It's a novel that beautifully explores memory, identity, and migration, and what it means to lose a home, whether through political change or through the act of leaving itself. What do you keep from a homeland once you've moved on from it? How do you change as a person, seeing your own reality from somewhere else entirely? A personal favourite, and a book that perfectly explores both themes of the book club.

Get Your Copy:&nbsp;You can<a href="https://goodcompanybooks.com/shop/product/the-renovation-1/58454562341245" target="_blank">&nbsp;purchase your book&nbsp;</a>on our website and choose in-store pickup or home delivery.

Book Club on Memory & Identity

This intimate workshop, led by author Keturah Kendrick, is an exploration of finding your voice in a world designed to silence it.

The Workshop focuses on a group discussion of Black feminist writer&nbsp;Audre Lorde’s essay,&nbsp;Your Silence Will Not Protect You.

Author and speaker, Keturah Kendrick, will guide participants through reading an excerpt of the essay. Choosing key words and phrases from the text, Kendrick will then provide participants with writing prompts that encourage thoughtful analysis of the desires and passions that sit quietly in the shadows of many women’s lives. Those expressions women relegate to silence because saying them out loud proposes too great a threat to the safety of acceptance.

Your favorite journal and pen (supplies will be provided)

Keturah Kendrick is an author, speaker and thought leader. Her work explores the nuances of living life as a Black woman who consciously rejects much of what society and culture expects of her. In&nbsp;No Thanks: Black, Female, and Living in the Martyr-Free Zone, she chronicles her challenges and reflections on living while Black, woman, single and childfree around the globe. In&nbsp;And You Know This: Lessons on Living from Young Folx, she turns to the power of intergenerational dialogue and shares invaluable insights on young adulthood from youth navigating life in these complex times. In&nbsp;Finding Your People, she provides an accessible road map for intentionally building community as a seasoned woman in a new stage of life. Kendrick has shared her insights on travel, community building, and the interior lives of Black women on numerous podcasts and media outlets. She is currently an Alice Nelson Dunbar fellow with&nbsp;The Lighthouse: Black Girl Projects. A freelance writer, her work has appeared in&nbsp;NBC News,&nbsp;Newsweek,&nbsp;USA Today,&nbsp;Business&nbsp;Insider,&nbsp;MS Now, and&nbsp;The Huff Post.&nbsp;A world traveler and serial expat, Kendrick currently resides in Lisbon, Portugal.

Your ticket includes 1 beverage from the bar during the event.

All reading and writing materials are provided.

By Bike: If you're using the Gira public bicycles, there is a docking station right across the street (#431 - Rua do Arco Cego / Av. Magalhães Lima).

Living LOUDLY: Finding Your Voice With The Help Of Audre Lorde

Join us for an evening of books, conversation, and community as we dive into a timeless literary classics!

Book of the Month:&nbsp;One Hundred Years of Solitude&nbsp;by&nbsp;Gabriel García Márquez

About the Book:&nbsp;Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.&nbsp;

Gabriel García Márquez's great masterpiece is the story of seven generations of the Buendía family and of Macondo, the town they built. Though little more than a settlement surrounded by mountains, Macondo has its wars and disasters, even its wonders and its miracles.
