The fate of the Jamaica neighbourhood in Seixal had long been sealed. But little was known about the deadlines and conditions for rehousing. Faced with this uncertainty, work began on the refurbishment of a building that was essential to the collective life of the neighbourhood, where residents' meetings and associative and educational activities usually took place. The plan was to transform the precarious headquarters into a Community Centre. But, by decision of Seixal Town Hall, the building was demolished without warning. It was an expected death, but for an unexpected reason. Valter Vinagre's photographs record and denounce this beautiful and collaborative, difficult and tragic case. - INSTITUTO
