International Theatre Festival of Setúbal

A full week of stimulated thought and imagination. Theatre created on our doorstep or on the other side of the ocean. An art for infinite tastes. Real salvation lies in theatre, the art of being together. Believing in the collective again.

Fórum Socialismo (political debate event)

For me a political party should be more than a group of people with similar ideas; it should be a space for dialogue and learning. In the Fórum Socialismo of the portuguese Left Bloc, everyone can learn new things and have interesting conversations, despite their political ideology.

Bons Sons Festival

A summer festival brought new life to the small village of Cem Soldos, in the center of Portugal, proving the transformational power of culture and the diversity of portuguese music. I'm still trying to go for the first time, but it is already an inspiration to me.

Pride of the Highlands (Cádiz, Spain)

In Sierra de Cádiz the DELTA Association brings together twelve rural villages to celebrate LGBTIQ Pride every year, proving it is also possible to be free without the anonimity of big cities. Article on El País

Spanish Feminist Strike (8M)

On the 8th march 2018, women all around Spain skipped their jobs and house chores to go on an unprecedented feminist strike, showing that when they stop, the country stops. In 2019 they inspired similar strikes in many other countries.
