This exhibition aims to take a of Islamic publications in Portugal from 1968 to 2024, insofar as they reflect as these publications reflect the Islamic presence in contemporary Portugal, reflecting and at the same time contributing to moulding it. This exhibition mainly includes texts produced and published by Muslims in Portugal, but also some books and translations by non-Muslims and non-Portuguese speakers.
