We invite you to read Nation of Strangers by Ece Temelkuran and join the discussion led by Rafaela Pires, Human Rights specialist!

One of the greatest joys of reading is the opportunity to share and exchange ideas with fellow book lovers. A text truly comes alive when viewed through different lenses; conversations flow, and we walk away realizing we’ve read the exact same book in entirely unique ways.

This time, we invite you to read&nbsp;Nation of Strangers&nbsp;by Ece Temelkuran and join the discussion. The book explores the experiences of migrants and refugees, examining the true meaning of belonging in an increasingly divided world. Together, we will reflect on borders, identity, displacement, and the human stories behind migration, while discussing the protection of human rights and our collective responsibilities toward those seeking safety.

Ultimately, this conversation challenges us to question who gets to be considered an "insider" or an "outsider," and what solidarity, dignity, and human rights should mean in practice.

Talk on "Nation of Strangers" by Ece Temelkuran with Rafaela Pires

Join us for an evening of books, conversation, and community as we dive into recent works of contemporary fiction!

Book of the Month:&nbsp;The Underground Railroad&nbsp;by Colson Whitehead

About the Book:&nbsp;Cora is a slave on a cotton plantation in Georgia. All the slaves lead a hellish existence, but Cora has it worse than most; she is an outcast even among her fellow Africans and she is approaching womanhood, where it is clear even greater pain awaits.

When Caesar, a slave recently arrived from Virginia, tells her about the Underground Railroad, they take the perilous decision to escape to the North. In Whitehead's razor-sharp imagining of the antebellum South, the Underground Railroad has assumed a physical form: a dilapidated box car pulled along subterranean tracks by a steam locomotive, picking up fugitives wherever it can. Cora and Caesar's first stop is South Carolina, in a city that initially seems like a haven.

But its placid surface masks an infernal scheme designed for its unknowing black inhabitants. And even worse: Ridgeway, the relentless slave catcher sent to find Cora, is close on their heels. Forced to flee again, Cora embarks on a harrowing flight, state by state, seeking true freedom.

At each stop on her journey, Cora encounters a different world. As Whitehead brilliantly recreates the unique terrors for black people in the pre-Civil War era, his narrative seamlessly weaves the saga of America, from the brutal importation of Africans to the unfulfilled promises of the present day. The Underground Railroad is at once the story of one woman's ferocious will to escape the horrors of bondage and a shatteringly powerful meditation on history.

Live Music Concert with Carolina Zingler & Sirene

Junta-te a nós para uma manhã de domingo criativa e divertida com a nossa oficina de arte!

A nossa oficina surge como uma extensão das sessões de leitura que acontecem aos sábados na Good Company Books. O objetivo é dar corpo ao mundo interior de cada participante, seja a partir das histórias ouvidas no dia anterior ou da necessidade de transpor as suas próprias fantasias para formas, cores e texturas.&nbsp;

A partir de mecanismos simples, como articulações, pontos de rotação e alavancas, cada participante vai construir o seu próprio boneco articulado em cartão. A oficina cruza o processo criativo com princípios básicos de mecânica, explorando de forma prática como diferentes sistemas podem criar movimento.&nbsp;

O evento tem um custo de 7 euros (+taxa). Pedimos que faças a reserva com antecedência para podermos preparar materiais suficientes para todos os pequenos artistas. Por favor, seleciona quantos adultos irão acompanhar. Se não puderes comparecer, pedimos que canceles o teu bilhete para que outros possam participar.&nbsp;

Cada sessão é única e oferece um roteiro estruturado, desenhado para guiar cada criança na exploração dos contornos da sua imaginação. Vamos descobrir diferentes temas, técnicas e suportes em cada encontro. Aqui, desmistificamos a ideia do não ter jeito ou não consigo e celebramos a experimentação como parte essencial do processo.&nbsp;

Nada de especial, traz apenas a tua curiosidade! Nós fornecemos todos os materiais necessários para materializar ideias em criações físicas.&nbsp;

Esta oficina é para todas as crianças que queiram expandir os seus horizontes criativos através da arte. Para que se sintam seguras e integradas, os pais e cuidadores são bem-vindos a acompanhar as sessões.&nbsp;

Oficina de arte para crianças "Engenharia do cartão"

Come discover how a few words and a few lines can tell a story that neither could tell alone, with the help of illustrator Marta Condez!

This workshop is an introduction to the narrative power of combining text and images. Together, we will write down loose fragments - things we’ve heard, questions we’re pondering - and draw others, like a scene from a dream or a moment that unsettled us, allowing these two worlds to collide.

Meaning rarely comes from a phrase and a drawing matching perfectly. Instead, it lives in the gap between them: the unexpected space where a sentence and an image don't quite agree, giving rise to a story. Through a series of playful exercises, we will compose single-image stories where a phrase and a drawing sit side by side, each altering how we interpret the other.

This workshop is for anyone curious about drawing or writing, regardless of experience. If you like the idea of playing with both mediums simultaneously to see what emerges, this is for you.

Bring any pen or pencil you feel comfortable using, but above all, bring your curiosity and a willingness to experiment. Paper, drawing tools, writing materials, and a drink are all included in the ticket price.

The workshop is hosted by&nbsp;<a href="https://martacondez.com/illustration" target="_blank">Marta Condez</a>, an illustrator and comic artist who uses her work to explore emotion, affection, and nuance. From an early age, Marta developed a fascination with how images convey ideas and stories - a passion that evolved into a dedicated sequential art practice.

Tickets are €15 (+tax) and include all materials, hands-on guidance and support throughout the process from your host, and one drink from the bar during the event. Space is limited!

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 Bike:&nbsp;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).

Visual Storytelling Workshop 

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

Book of the Month:&nbsp;Sunburn&nbsp;by Chloe Michelle Howarth

About the Book:&nbsp;It's the early 1990s, and in the Irish village of Crossmore, Lucy feels out of place. Despite her fierce friendships, she's always felt this way, and the conventional path of marriage and motherhood doesn't appeal to her at all. Not even with handsome and doting Martin, her closest childhood friend.

Lucy begins to make sense of herself during a long hot summer, when a spark with her school friend Susannah escalates to an all-consuming infatuation, and, very quickly, to a desperate and devastating love. Fearful of rejection from her small and conservative community, Lucy begins living a double life, hiding the most honest parts of herself in stolen moments with Susannah. But with the end of school and the opportunity to leave Crossmore looming, Lucy must choose between two places, two people and two futures, each as terrifying as the other.

But only one can offer her real happiness. Sunburn is an astute and tender portrayal of first love, adolescent anxiety and the realities of growing up in a small town where tradition holds people tightly in its grasp.

Kids Storytime 

Join our Cookbook Club where we create a relaxed space to discover new dishes, learn from one another, and share our love for cooking!

Each month, we gather to explore a new cookbook together. Once the book is chosen, every participant selects a recipe that catches their interest and prepares it at home. You’re encouraged to make the recipe by yourself!

Feel free to add your personal touches, substitutions, or creative twists.

When we meet, everyone brings their dish to share, creating a table full of diverse interpretations from the same cookbook. Our gatherings take place at Good Company Bookstore, where we enjoy the food, exchange ideas, and talk about what worked (or didn’t!) in each recipe.

Cookbook of the month:&nbsp;Sweet&nbsp;by Yotam&nbsp;Ottolenghi and&nbsp;Helen Goh

For the final instalment of our baking extravaganza, we will get together with&nbsp;Sweetby Yotam Ottolenghi and Helen Goh. Ottolenghi, the acclaimed chef and bestselling cookbook author known for his vibrant, flavour-packed cooking, teamed up with pastry chef and recipe developer Helen Goh to create a book that celebrates the joy of baking and sharing something delicious with others. With Helen’s expertise in pastry and Ottolenghi’s distinctive approach to flavour,&nbsp;Sweet&nbsp;is full of inspiring bakes that encourage us to slow down, get creative and enjoy the simple pleasure of making something from scratch. It feels like the perfect book to bring our baking series to a close so come ready to bake, taste, chat and, of course, indulge in something sweet!

I'm Francine, originally from the Philippines, with over ten years of experience in the hospitality industry. My career began in the United States, where I studied Baking &amp; Pastry Arts and gained my first Michelin-star restaurant experience in New York. From there, I moved to London, continuing my work in Michelin-starred kitchens for more than six years.

Cookbook Club

This talk explores the evolution of still life in Western art, and asks why the genre has become such a powerful mirror of society.

Still life may be the art historical genre we take least seriously. Yet few genres tell us more about what we desire, what we value, what we fear, and how we want others to see us.

Through a deliberately partial and biased selection of works, we will look again at apparently innocent paintings and discover that nothing is quite as innocent as it seems.

I’m Jeanne, an international art teacher, designer, and art historian. I’ve lived in eight countries, and I love sharing creative ideas and inspirations in a warm, accessible way.

Participants are welcome to bring whatever helps them absorb the talk - such as notebooks, pens, or relevant books.

Absolutely everyone: curious art enthusiasts, artists, scholars, or anyone interested in deepening their knowledge of art in a warm, accessible setting

18:30 - Grab a drink, find your seat and mingle!

Every participant has 1 beverage included in their ticket. Enjoy a glass of wine or sip some hot chocolate while learning about art!

Spaces are limited, grab your ticket quickly!

Book of the month:&nbsp;Saving the Fire&nbsp;by Itamar Vieira Junior&nbsp;

About the Book:&nbsp;The highly anticipated new novel from the author of the Booker-shortlisted international sensation&nbsp;Crooked Plow.

Moisés lives with his father and sister in a Brazilian village dominated by the local monastery. His mother having died mysteriously, Moisés is raised by his sister Luzia, a young woman rumored to be a witch and despised by the villagers. Luzia seeks protection from the monastery, where she gets a job as a laundress and where Moisés receives an education.In time, something triggers her brother to rebel and run away from home. Luzia finds herself wholly alone, fighting for the family's land and for her life. Unknown to her, Moisés, too, has put himself on the front line of an ancient conflict between colonial oppressors and the dispossessed.

Epic and lyrical, with the power to enchant as well as outrage,&nbsp;Saving the Firepresents the ghosts of a family's past lost amid the shadows of a nation's history. Masterfully, Itamar Vieira Junior blends the intimate journeys of his characters with faithfully rendered elements of Brazilian life in a world where the scars of colonialism still ache.
