“Passado e Presente — Lisboa, Capital Ibero-americana de Cultura 2017” (Past and present - Lisbon, Ibero-American Capital of Culture 2017) is an international event with a colourful visual identity made by GBNT that will celebrate, discuss, think and share the historical and cultural territories of Ibero-America.

Throughout this year, separate cultural spaces in Lisbon will receive numerous artistic and multidisciplinary proposals that will show to the national and international public, what are the excellence in the Ibero-American world.

The graphic language created is intended to be festive, playful and dynamic. It uses several graphic, multicoloured patterns, inspired by the flags of the associate countries, representing Lisbon as host over a cross road of multiculturalism.
