Cova da Moura is an indredible example of what we might call paralell
citizenship. In less than 20 years 7000 people, mostly from the african
islands of Cabo-Verde, built an illegal town in one of the suburban areas
around Lisbon. Part of the property is private, and part is common ground.
Speculators, and the municipality of Amadora city (actually a 'socialist'
one!) want to destroy this marvellous "urban tapestry". Some violent events
took place in that place almost a year ago: one young black policeman was
shot and killed by some kids. This police affair put Cova da Moura on the
media map. Drug dealing, and poverty are also responsable for most of the
fear that Cova da Moura inspires to an average lisbonite fellow.

Our walk will trace another map of this site! We will follow the trace that
link the 35 hairdressers that operate in Cova da Moura and are responsable
for some of the most creative hair sculptures we can see everywhere in the
metropolitan area of Lisbon.
