THE RURAL IN US
A cycle of gatherings led by Binaural Nodar

Outono Quente Festival | Zunzum Associação Cultural and https://outonoquente.zunzum-ac.pt/

4 gatherings, from 6:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., October 2nd to 5th.

The rural world of the Viseu region is gradually changing. It is therefore fair to ask: What remains of ancestral traditions? Are the villages still alive? What other aspects have changed? What is the role of art and culture in understanding rural contexts and in listening attentively to their communities?

Luís Costa (researcher and coordinator of Binaural Nodar)
