Music Between Companion Species
May - November 2023

Music between Companion Species is a series of concerts conceived and performed for and with dogs, their human companions and other more-than-human presences who may join these sessions. Inspired by Donna J. Haraway’s Companion Species Manifesto and by cientific studies about dog’s preferences for sound and music, the concerts will take into account these animals’ unique sensibilities and hearing capabilities.

Paulo Cunha e Silva Art Prize
17.06-20.08.2023

Created by the City Council as a tribute to the late Councillor for Culture Paulo Cunha e Silva (1962 – 2015), a central figure for the city’s artistic life, the award, held every two years in Porto, recognises the talent of new generations of national and international artists. This year’s edition underlines the Prize’s commitment to fostering creation and cultural exchange by establishing a partnership with three world-recognised residency programmes: Arquipélago Centro de Artes in S. Miguel, Azores, Cove Park, on Scotland’s west coast, and Pivô, in São Paulo, will all host one of the nominated artists, appointed by a jury of three members.

The Nominators for the 2023 edition of the Art Prize are:
Artist Ângela Ferreira, Jan van Eyck Academie Director Hicham Khalidi, and cultural programmer Tabitha Thorlu-Bandura.

With
Euridice Kala, Márilu Namoda and Luis Santos (nominated by Ângela Ferreira); Rouzbeh Akhbari, Kent Chan and Hira Nabi (nominated by Hicham Khalidi) and Maren Karlson, Malik Nashad Sharpe aka Marikiscrycrycry, and Eve Stainton (nominated by Tabitha Thorlu-Bandura).

Duet
Maria Paz and Joan Jonas
16.09 – 19.11.2023

Duet is an invitation for two artists to share an exhibition space. It started as a proposal for a young artist from Porto to think of an artist they would like to share an exhibition with. Recalling the impact of her survey show at the Serralves Museum, Maria Paz invited Joan Jonas to share the exhibition space of the Galeria Municipal do Porto. In this transatlantic exchange of generations, the two artists will reveal their common investigations of forms, colours and materials.

The Sylvan and Harsh North
09.12.2023 – 10.03.2024

What are the meteorological patterns, the myths and stories, the rhythms, colours and shapes, the human and nonhuman inhabitants that make up the Iberian Northwest, in its reality and fiction?
Wondering about the rituals and expressive modes of people, animals, plants, elements and minerals, we went looking for the roots, terminations and tentacles of the Iberian Northwest, trying to locate the places where they might reside. In doing so, we considered the past but above all faced the present-future of these concrete and imagined spaces between seas, woods and settlements. The Sylvan and Harsh North is an exhibition that follows roads and lines of intensity, centrifugal forces that take us beyond Porto, towards those supposed margins where permutations erupt, to discover and share the references, stories, words and connections to these places with a long past and an even longer future.

CIRCUITOS'24

Circuitos’24 is the launch year of a new initiative that aims to give visibility to people and projects from Porto's art scene, aiming to strengthen contact and familiarity between the city's contemporary production and the general public.

The initiative, to be visited in a 3-day itinerary, encompasses around 50 spaces for creating, showing and thinking about art. From institutional and museum contexts to artist-run art spaces and commercial galleries, each space includes a suggested daily circuit, plus a list of events with different proposals, including inaugurations, concerts, performances, talks and other activities.

Circuitos'24 | Concert by Bonga

Bonga is a living icon of Angolan culture, an inescapable reference in semba, the music from which he emerged as a composer and singer, building a cultural and political legacy that has been fundamental to the history of the last 40 years of Angola and the Lusophone African diaspora.

From the recording of 'Angola 72', his unmissable debut album, to the present day, the musician has performed on some of the world's most important stages, received international institutional and diplomatic honours, but above all he has earned the respect and affection of a vast audience that continues to follow him, listen to him and dance to his songs.

In this concert, Bonga will be accompanied by a band of guitarist, bassist, accordionist and drummer, where he will charismatically position his voice and the touch of the Dikanza.

Admission is free, subject to room capacity.
