Various cultural and educational initiatives are being launched across Portugal. In early September, Zaratan announced ‘Em Obras – Laboratório Experimental’, a visual arts program in Lisbon scheduled for late September and early October. This period also includes the release of a book commemorating the 100th anniversary of musician Maria Teresa de Macedo, with presentations planned in Porto, Lisbon, and Santo Tirso.

Subsequent developments include the continuation of the Express’ARTE project in Ermesinde, which utilizes performing arts to support student inclusion. Additionally, the Armazém das Artes in Alcobaça is set to begin ‘Territory: Fronteiras na Arte Pública’ in October, an 18-month international program involving exhibitions and public mural projects across Alcobaça, Óbidos, and Sines.
