2025 marks the centenary of the birth of Isabel da Nóbrega (1925-2021), one of the most important Portuguese writers of the 20th century.

To celebrate her life and work, there will be an extensive programme of commemorative events, including the colloquium “Em que mundo vivemos?” Isabel da Nóbrega – 100 anos [What kind of world do we live in?’ Isabel da Nóbrega – 100 years], to be held on June 26th and 27th at the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and NOVA FCSH. The event will bring together experts on her work, family members and friends to pay tribute to this communicative, relational and socially engaged woman, as well as an avant-garde writer of recognised literary quality.

A tribute organised as part of the research project  Portuguese women writers during Military Dictatorship and Estado Novo in Portugal, Africa, Asia and countries of emigration, a partnership between IELT – NOVA FCSH, CICS.NOVA/Faces of Eva and CRILUS/Études Romanes (Paris Nanterre University).
