2024 marks the 50th anniversary of the Revolução dos Cravos (Carnation Revolution). To celebrate, CTT Correios de Portugal is releasing a one-of-a-kind commemorative block at Feios 2024. The block features a lenticular print—shifting from a gray censorship seal to a red carnation as you tilt the paper. Only 2,000 blocks will be sold exclusively at the fair. Feios 2024
Perhaps the most tangible example of this trend is in the fashion industry, specifically footwear. The "Ugly Sneaker" trend, popularized by brands like Balenciaga and Crocs, has reached its zenith in 2024. These are shoes that are deliberately clunky, oversized, and visually jarring. They reject the sleek lines of traditional fashion. By wearing something society traditionally deems "feio" (ugly), the wearer signals a subversive intelligence. They are saying, "I am confident enough to transcend your definition of beauty."
To combat the aging demographic of collectors, Feios 2024 has launched "Junior Detective." Kids get a free magnifying glass and a "treasure hunt" card. If they find three specific hidden watermarks on display stamps, they win a starter pack. This is a brilliant move to ensure the hobby survives another generation.

To understand the hype surrounding , one must appreciate its history. Originating in the mid-20th century in the basement of the Cinema Império in Lisbon, the fair was initially a small gathering of war veterans swapping stamps.

Three centuries after a global ecological collapse caused by humanity’s dependence on fossil fuels, a new civilization has risen. To prevent future wars, society is divided into two groups: "Uglies" (those under 16) and "Pretties" (those who have undergone a transformative surgery). The surgery doesn't just change appearances; it subtly alters the brain to make citizens docile and easily controlled by the governing body, led by Dr. Cable.

But by late 2023, the cracks in this façade began to show. The rise of Generative AI (GenAI) meant that "perfect" imagery was no longer the exclusive domain of high-end models and skilled photographers. Anyone could generate a flawless face or a pristine landscape with a simple text prompt. Suddenly, perfection became cheap. It became synthetic. It became, in the eyes of many, boring.
Knowing they need a human test subject to try an experimental cure for the brain lesions, Tally chooses to surrender and undergo the surgery herself. She leaves behind a sign to her future self to ensure she remembers her mission. The film ends with Tally as a "Pretty," but with a lingering spark of her original rebellious spirit.
