In late July 2026, Pernambuco honored two key cultural figures: the renowned ceramic artist Mestre Vitalino, whose work put Caruaru on the map for popular pottery, and the music collective Coco Fulô do Barro, which marked its tenth anniversary with new releases and performances celebrating the regional Samba de Coco tradition. A week later, in early August, the state continued its cultural program by showcasing the legacy of its cinema and dance. A national film circuit presented landmark Pernambuco movies across dozens of theatres, while a free videodance event in Recife commemorated the 25th anniversary of the dance company Cia. Etc., featuring video works and public debates.
