At Seville's 1929 Ibero-American Exhibition, its displays included coffee, cocoa, timber and rubber, among other products. The [city's illustrated guide](https://visitasevilla.es/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/SEVILLA_EN_2_DIAS_2024_ENG_compressed.pdf) places it on an exterior-viewing itinerary and describes its Portuguese colonial architectural references. Reading the building alongside that account raises a useful question: which parts of a country's life did an international exhibition choose to display? Seville's older Portuguese connections also include the trafficking and exploitation of enslaved people. Historians Manuel F. Fernández Chaves and Rafael M. Pérez García explain how the expansion of [Portuguese slave trading brought enslaved Africans to Seville by sea and land](https://www2.ual.es/ideimand/esclavos-en-sevilla/), particularly after 1479. This history gives necessary human context to the city's Atlantic links and the people whose forced labour sustained them. A much later cultural perspective appears in *Améfrica*, the CAAC exhibition launched in 2026. Its starting point was Afro-Brazilian thinker Lélia Gonzalez's concept of *amefricanidade*, examining African contributions to the cultures of the Americas. [The exhibition account](https://www.europapress.es/esandalucia/sevilla/noticia-caac-sevilla-inaugura-amefrica-recorrido-conexion-africa-americas-traves-130-obras-20260227135834.html) describes sections on adaptation, resistance and Black women's self-representation, with a run announced through 10 January 2027. For Portuguese study, Gonzalez's ideas offer a reason to investigate Brazilian writing about identity and racism alongside the visual material. ### Listening across different traditions Portuguese music has reached Seville through programmes that explain its instruments and history. The [2025 Festival Fado Sevilla programme](https://everythingisnew.pt/festival-fado-sevilha-2025-bernardo-couto/) centred on the centenary of guitarist Carlos Paredes. It scheduled Bernardo Couto with singer Sofia Ramos at the Portuguese Consulate on 29 October, a documentary and talk the following day, and Trio Alvorada at CaixaForum on 31 October. Those dated programme notes provide listening leads for exploring the Portuguese guitar and Paredes's work; they do not establish another edition's dates. Cinema makes the linguistic range especially clear. Seville's [2024 European Film Festival programme](https://festivalcinesevilla.eu/sites/default/files/2024-11/21FS_programa_mano_2024_11_02.pdf) included Margarida Cardoso's Portuguese-language *Banzo*, a drama confronting colonial exploitation in São Tomé in 1907. It also included Denise Fernandes's *Hanami*, filmed on Fogo in Cabo Verde and listed in Cape Verdean Creole, Japanese, French and English. These films open different questions about memory, departure and belonging. Their language listings are also a useful reminder to check what is actually spoken in a film from a Portuguese-speaking country. ### Literature and educational exchange Seville recognised José Saramago's writing before his Nobel Prize: the [author's foundation timeline](https://www.josesaramago.org/en/timeline/) records an honorary doctorate from the University of Seville in 1991 and the Nobel Prize in 1998. That literary recognition offers a local reason to approach his work. As an optional reading exercise, compare a short passage in Portuguese with a Spanish translation and note how the sentence develops before trying to summarise it in your own words. The university connection also extends to language and cultural exchange. A [University of Seville announcement dated December 2021](https://www.us.es/actualidad-de-la-us/la-universidad-de-sevilla-y-el-instituto-camoes-se-unen-para-potenciar-la) set out an agreement with Instituto Camões covering Portuguese teaching, cultural activities and encouragement of teacher and student exchanges. Its stated cultural scope included the wider Portuguese-speaking world. Read together with the city's exhibition, music and film records, it provides a way to explore the differences and connections among Brazilian, Portuguese and African cultural experiences while keeping their individual histories in view. ## Lesson formats and levels Private lessons and adult groups support beginner, intermediate and advanced learners.
