Carnation flowers played an important role in the Portuguese revolution as a representation of peace and non-violent resistance. Civilians and soldiers alike placed them in the barrels of rifles, conveying a powerful message of reconciliation and unity. This tour explores the contrast between the delicate beauty of these flowers and the harshness of the weapons, symbolising the rejection of violence and the desire for political change.
