Summer Garden
2024
This edition of the Summer Garden celebrates once again the sounds and rhythms of different cultures, introducing, in addition to music, stories and testimonies expressed through images and words. By expanding into other artistic areas, the Summer Garden now occupies new spaces within the Gulbenkian building. Music will continue to be present in Sítio da Oliveira and the Open-Air Amphitheatre, but it also takes to the stage of the Grand Auditorium. Additionally the programme will include a series of talks in Auditorium 2 and a film cycle in the Open-Air Amphitheatre.
In a year that marks such important dates as the 50th anniversary of the 25th of April and the 100th anniversary of Amílcar Cabral’s birth, the Summer Garden is committed to the art of telling difficult stories and experimenting with poetic dialogues that convey solidarity and future.
