Rui Aguiar

for two days, the Belém Art Fest returns to animate some of the most emblematic places of the riverfront of Belém in Lisbon, which will receive a program of established and emerging artists, entirely dedicated to domestic production. The party starts soon in the evening in the Garden of the Empire Square, with various DJs and hip-hop artists that will liven up the audience before the main concert. On the first day, 6, stand out, for example, Balla shows (Archaeological Museum), The Happy Mess (Berardo Museum) or Sara Tavares (Monastery Cloister of the Jeronimos), while on Saturday, 7, work, among others, names like Cave Story, Salvador Sobral and Thunder & amp; Co (Archaeological Museum), D’Alva and Mirror People (Berardo Museum) or Golpel Collective and Tim (Monastery Cloister of the Jeronimos). With a philosophy that invites the audience to travel through the various spaces, through concerts, djs sessions, dance and performing arts, stand-up comedy, yoga workshops, graffiti and photography, design exhibitions or fair food and crafts, the harder it will be choose between the much happens at once.

One of the most original proposals of this fifth edition of Belém Art Fest is the morphogenesis Musical installation, a project sponsored by the Institute Gulbenkian de Ciência, resulting from joint work of scientists, musicians, architects and engineers. It is a robotic flower that comes to life through sound, light and movement around you and with which we are invited to interact, thus influencing, in real time, its development.
