Afrontamentos (Affronts) is a collective project, where several artists will present works created around the matrix "Affronts".
Afrontamentos problematizes concepts such as intimacy or space. Space, as gallery or cultural space, which can be transformed by different artistic solutions, so as the public, which can be transformed, affronted.
It aims at versatility and continuity, therefore cross-cutting experiences from Northern to Southern Portugal, among the artists and their audience.

Casa-das-Artes/Palácio da Brejoeira (House-of-the Arts/ Brejoeira Palace) presents the I Meeting of Lusophone Writers, from 29 to 31 July, at Palácio da Brejoeira.
Novelists, musicians, poets, actors, directors, researchers, creators... people from different cultural and artistic clusters will reflect upon the Lusophone reality; upon new technologies and their relationship with literature and the Arts, as well as upon the alter mundi movements (environmentalism, entrepreneurship, antiwar, feminism, etc.), and the situation of the Arts in the contemporary world.
This project relies on the attendance of European, African and American noteworthy writers who express themselves through the Portuguese language.
Portugal, Galiza, Brazil, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Cape Verde, São Tomé and Timor-Leste will be the dominions of our human and literary experience, while we aim at thinking about Lusophony in the anthropological sense of the word. This approach seems to be fundamental for the purpose of engendering rapprochement policies among the Portuguese speaking people and the all the peoples of the world, in light of the Lusophone countries' relatively narrow endeavour in exploring their rich linguistic and cultural differences.

MYSTERIES OF LISBON, Raul Ruiz’s masterful adaptation of the eponymous nineteenth-century Portuguese novel (by Camilo Castelo Branco) evokes the complex intertwined narratives of Victor Hugo and Charles Dickens. Mysteries of Lisbon plunges us into a whirlwind of adventures, coincidences, revelations, vengeance, betrayals and love affairs, wrapped in a rhapsodic voyage that takes us to Portugal, Spain, France, Italy, and as far as Brazil. Evoking the complex intertwined narratives of Charles Dickens, the film’s central character is Joao, the illegitimate child of an ill-fated romance between two members of the aristocracy who are forbidden to marry, and follows Joao’s quest to discover the truth of his parentage.
Nothing, and nobody, is first as it/she/he appears in this intoxicating spiral of stories within stories within stories, filmed by Ruiz with gorgeous period design, a fluid, pirouetting camera, and a stellar French and Portuguese cast including up and coming actresses Clotilde Hesmé and Lea Seydoux.

Arte Institute supports: Sara Serpa - CD Release:Mobile
Mobile (Inner Circle) shows just how far vocalist-composer Sara Serpa has traveled as an artist in the few short years since she arrived in New York. After coming to the world’s attention as a member of Greg Osby’s group in 2008 and further establishing her credentials in duet with pianist Ran Blake on last year’s Camera Obscura, Serpa now sets off firmly on her own journey with a ravishing new release as the leader of a quintet featuring guitarist André Matos, keyboardist Kris Davis, bassist Ben Street, and drummer Ted Poor.
Inspired by the literature of travel and self-discovery, the far ranging album brilliantly showcases her remarkable abilities as an interpreter of lyrics, an improviser, an ensemble member, and composer. The versatility and originality that led All About Jazz to call her “the freshest vocalist on the scene at the moment” has never been more in evidence.

Arte Institute presents its Thanksgiving Concert with Sara Serpa and André Matos.
Vocalist Sara Serpa and guitarist AndreÌ Matos have been performing in a duo setting since 2004. The music they create together has been taking many turns.
They use mostly songs, both originals and someone else Ìs, to establish a moody ambient, sometimes using effects, other times completely acoustic.
They can be at once both contemplative and direct. Although not attached to style, they convey a avant-garde quality in their approach and a chamber like sound.
The balance between loose open forms and tight rhythms or unisons, creates efficient contrast through tension and release, and that Ìs what makes this duo so appealing.
Don´t miss it!

3 x Beckett = … is the newest production from Propositário Azul – Associação Artística (Artistic Association).
Fate brought 3 actors together who share a like vision that is not unique among all artists. The vision is as common as that of Aeschylus when he had his first chorus stand in the Theatre of Dionysus to tell a story. A story simply told. The 3 actors we spoke of have that same timeless vision. But, unlike Aeschylus, who kept his work in his home town, we three want to venture into the world and share our story with all people in the world.
Most importantly, we share a simple love of Samuel Beckett' clear, sharp language and precision of imagery. Our 3 plays, COME AND GO, FOOTFALLS and NOT I embody our vision of direct presentation.
We will be performing at the Instituto Cervantes in New York, a recently restored landmark. Our performances will be 10, 11, 12 July 2012. Here we’ll be performing integrally in English.
This production will open in New York City, then Lisbon and later Barcelona. With actors and words as facilitators, we will be able to perform worldwide. We will also be able to use actresses in any country who share our vision in productions wherever we go.
For the opening we’ll have actresses from 3 different nationalities: Canadian (invited actress), Portuguese and Spanish.
To make this project possible we have the support of 3 organizations: Propositário Azul – Associação Cultural, Arte Institute (a non-profit organization that provides a space for inter-cultural inspiration and is a catalyst for an innovative artistic dialogue between the many communities in New York and the Portuguese artists) and the Instituto Cervantes in New York (one of its main goals is to encourage cultural activities in collaboration with other organizations). They’re a great help on providing us space to rehearse and present 3 x Beckett = … as well promoting it.

After the success of the NY Portuguese Short Film Festival (June 2011), Arte Institute created the Summer Nights Series, adding an outdoor dimension to Portuguese culture, which turned out to be ideal for the New York busy way of life.
Throughout the Summer 2011, Union Square Park, right in the heart of Manhattan, was a stage for contemporary Portuguese Culture in the city, showcasing 20 short films and one feature film, three concerts and a performance.
All sessions were free and open to the hundreds of New Yorkers who constantly pass by this square. In Lisbon, the Summer Nights Series took place at Clube Ferroviário.

José Carlos Teixeira | Sarah FitzSimons
Recent Works
Arte Institute presents a screening and discussion of recent works by José Carlos Teixeira (Video Art Project series), followed by an artist talk by Sarah FitzSimons.
RU, Residency Unlimited, Brooklyn, NY
February 15, 2013 / 6.30 pm
This event is organized by Arte Institute and hosted by Residency Unlimited (RU) within the framework of the partnership established in 2012 (http://www.residencyunlimited.org/partnerships/arte-institute/)
Description | Artist Statements
José Carlos Teixeira is an artist whose research-based work involves primarily video-essay, installation, and related photography. Three main axes shape his overall interdisciplinary practice: art and politics; art and community; art and technology. Is this a collision or a productive encounter?
Notions of identity, otherness, language, boundary, exile and displacement, are recurrent themes in his creative and theoretical investigation. Using strategies of individual and group performance, his pieces address specific issues related to locational identity (or identity as an ongoing process of transformation), global diaspora, the limits (or overlapping) of personal and social territories, and the definition of physical and psychological spaces. They attempt to generate not a set of conclusions, but a continuous process of questioning. Usually coming from a subjective, discursive and contextual approach, Teixeira focuses on collaboration, participation, and dialogue, therefore incorporating multiple voices and subjects into the audiovisual projects. The relationship with, and the representation of Otherness (both in its external and internal dimensions) occupy a central role in his aesthetic and ethic materializations.
Frontiers between video art and cinema, fiction and documentary, are purposely left open and undefined, following the belief that the most challenging and substantial artwork derives from in-between places, from areas resisting conventional categorizations.
Sarah FitzSimons is a visual artist whose project-based work typically involves a sculpture, installed outdoors or indoors, which interacts with and derives meaning from its surroundings. She interprets and reframes this process through photography, video, and storytelling, sometimes representing the images, video loops, and text as separate pieces. Much of the work seeks to connect our constructed culture and daily lives with the wider patterns of nature. FitzSimons works first and foremost in and with three-dimensional space, and a core question that drives her research is: how can an object affect the space around it? Just as the form and bulk of a mountain range creates its own weather, (rain forests and rain shadow deserts), how can and does art alter the space around it? (physical space, emotional space, aesthetic space, social space, metaphoric space, etc.) The sculptural objects she makes are rarely self-contained, meaning that they need context to be complete. When listing materials for works, she often include things like the Pacific Ocean, a small town in Vermont, a bedroom, and the Joshua Tree Desert, in addition to more typical materials of wood and steel. Both categories of ‘material’ (physical and site) are equally important in building the pieces.
Over the past decade and into the foreseeable future, her practice continues to explore the physical presence and power of mountains, rivers, deserts, and oceans, and their counterparts (just as massive) in the individual human psyche and collective unconscious.

S.A. Marionetas and Arte Institute present The Puppet Show "Dom Roberto" in New York.
Clube Português de Farmingville, 7 PM
Dom Roberto - Rooted in the European tradition of glove puppets, namely the Polichinelo from the Italian Comédia Dell'Arte (16th Century), the Portuguese Dom Roberto Theater retains all the characteristics from this form of traditional theater. Arriving in Portugal in the 18th Century it remained unchanged until mid 20th Century.

Dom Roberto - Rooted in the European tradition of glove puppets, namely the Polichinelo from the Italian Comédia Dell'Arte (16th Century), the Portuguese Dom Roberto Theater retains all the characteristics from this form of traditional theater. Arriving in Portugal in the 18th Century it remained unchanged until mid 20th Century.

One Single Beat . marta coutinho . ruca rebordão
Traditional dances celebrate the point where rhythm and body meet and communicate in a unique and particular way. The most primitive forms of movement and dance follow well defined beats, strong rhythms that connect floor, earth, with the body.
We propose a journey from Portugal to Brazil, passing by Angola and Cape Verde where the audience is invited to join this Atlantic movement tide...
We feel one single beat, one single emotion shared by the cultures bathed by one single Ocean that speaks the same language and dances the same music. Different speeds, same smile. There is always movement inside of us. And our veins feel the tide of one single beat.

“A look on vision – inside the human eye”
Our perpetual search for the correct diagnosis makes us to look at the details and gather as much information as possible. The photographs presented capture moments that are beyond what the human eye is able to reach and are an innovating communication instrument lying between science and art. We are perfectionists and we always strive to capture the best image.
We learned from the best: the human eye.
Real images of the interior of the human eye, all telling a story and reflecting the innumerous capabilities available in Ophthalmology, making visible what was before unseen. The extraordinary, the rare, the odd, force us to share what we have witnessed.
In this exhibition, all the images have something to share. There is the "Lightning", showing the retinal blood vessels, the "Bloody Sun", which is nothing more than one of the most serious complications of the population over 50 years old, the "Solar Explosion", resulting from the accumulation of calcium phosphate, the "Giant Squid", the "Quarter Moon", the "Caviar"... Images that reveal the technical capabilities and illustrate the devastating effects of some diseases.
The exhibition "Visions" shows moments that are beyond what the unaided human eye is able to see. It is an instrument of communication and innovation combining science and art. We feel compelled to share what we have seen. The extraordinary, the singular and the unusual comes to us in real images that sometimes resemble scenes from outer space rather than anything earthbound.
This is the result of o r everyday life in the Centro Cirúrgico de Coimbra (Portugal).
Among three million images we choose only 45.
«MOBY-DICK»
Arte Institute is pleased to present "Moby-Dick" by Teatromosca.
MOBY-DICK
Based on Herman Melville’s novel
Adapted by Tiago PatriÌcio
Artistic direction by Pedro Alves
Production teatromosca
_________________________________________________________
NEW YORK
October 3rd | 8 PM
Access Theater | 380 Broadway, NYC
Moby-Dick: The white whale
A narrative of adventures for some and a metaphysical epic for others, Melville’s ‘Moby-Dick’ may be summarized as the story of a whaling trip, a study on obsession and revenge and how these dominant human traits become the bane of a man. A fragmented narrative, in a way, disorderly, dynamic, assuming different literary modes: satire, drama, essay, encyclopedia, chronicle, lyrical ... In the first phase of the text, we follow the narrator Ishmael on the trip’s preparations. What we can consider the second part, on board of the Pequod, when Ishmael abandons the central role of the narrative and the focus is shifted to Ahab and his pursuit of the white whale. In a third moment, Ahab seems to measure forces with the Pequod’s second officer, the rational and prudent Starbuck. However, in the ultimate progress of the novel, the final confrontation with the white whale seems inevitable, and it ends chaotically, with the death of Captain Ahab and the whole crew, except for Ishmael who he is recovered as the novel’s narrator.
‘Moby-Dick’ is the first performance of the North American Trilogy teatromosca has been developing. It premièred in December 2013 and since then it has toured the all around Portugal including Madeira. Next year it will be presented at the Asteroiden Festival in Copenhagen, Denmark. The second performance of the USA Trilogy is ‘The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner, premiered in December 2014. ‘Fahrenheit 451’ by Ray Bradbury, the third and last performance will premier next November, in Orléans, France. That is the result of a broad artistic collaboration between teatromosca and Théâtre de la Tête Noire.
In the last few years the company is responsible for some of the most interesting national performances departing from novels – interesting because of them being speculative, unfinished, urgent, and permanently questioning, they adopt a certain posture regarding the dramatic potential of a text from the reader’s experience, who experiences the unfolding of a scene, and because of that becomes a spectator.
Tiago Bartolomeu Costa (journalist) 20 December 2013
teatromosca
teatromosca is a theatre company based in Sintra, Portugal, funded in 1999. Over 15 years teatromosca has produced more than 40 different projects, departing from texts by Beckett, Gao Xingjian, John Berger, Thomas Bernhard, Goethe, Sharman MacDonald The company is keen on developing co-productions among several national and international institutions, as well, as touring its work and fostering creative networks. Besides creating new performances, the company runs a very successful Learning and Creative Department by working very closely with the local community. Its yearly program encompasses theatre and dance classes for kids, a theatre group with actors with disabilities, monthly cultural and mediated activity with the citizens over 45 years old, but also with unemployed locals. teatromosca is also responsible for its own publishing house, moscaMosca, having published new Portuguese theatre writers. In September 2015, and as a celebration of its 15th anniversary, it organizes the Performing Arts Festival MUSCARIUM #1. Over the course of two weeks, eight performances will be presented at Auditório Municipal António Silva, Cacém. Four of the company’s latest projects have been selected by some of the major Portuguese theatre critics as the best theatre performances presented in Portugal, in 2009, 2011 and 2013 – as Moby Dick is the lattest example. In January 2015 it was considered by a theatre critic as ‘one of the most interesting, honest and original Portuguese theatre groups.'

Anthology Film Archives
32 Second Avenue (at 2nd St.)
New York, NY 10003 USA
February 16 | 8 PM
Kuduro (literally ‘hard ass’) is an urban cultural movement that was born in Angola in the last decade of the Civil War.
Created in the discos and raves in downtown Luanda through a fusion between House and Techno beats and traditional Angolan rhythms, Kuduro spilled over from the centre of the city to the suburbs. It rapidly spread throughout Angola, Africa and now all over the world.
Kuduro mixes dance, music and lifestyle, its lyrics take inspiration from the simple day-to-day things in life, and its culture is present a little here, there and everywhere - be that on a street corner, in a school, in a taxi or even a football stadium.
‘I LOVE KUDURO’ follows the most idolised stars of this urban phenomenon that today influences scores of young Africans, namely Bruno de Castro, Eduardo Paim,Sebém, Nagrelha, Hochi Fu, Namayer, Tchobari, Titica, Francis Boy and Cabo Snoop, offering a unique view on the new generation of Angolan talent.

Bruno Belthoise is a multi-talented french pianist who experiences the scene in its various forms of expression. Passioned by Portuguese culture, he presents the music of Portuguese composers through his recitals, conferences and numerous recordings. His recordings, which are all world premieres, demonstrate his creative performing career.
This concert in tribute to Manoel de Oliveira, who lived between 1908 and 2015 and crossed many aesthetic currents, evokes the great filmmaker in a historic and symbolic perspective. The Portuguese and French works of this recital are selected around his first film "Douro Faina Fluvial" (1931) and celebrate the aspects of his multifaceted personality and the unique richness of his work.
"My desire to accompany Douro Faina Fluvial was born from the fascination I feel about the modernity and the incredible pace of his first film. I want to rediscover this masterpiece of Portuguese cinema with a vividly and spontaneous musical reaction."

Arte Institute presents "A música portuguesa a gostar dela própria", inserted on Summer Nights Series 2017.
Summer Night Series - Music
Union Square Park North Plaza
July 11 - 8 PM
The A Música Portuguesa A Gostar Dela Própria Association[Portuguese Music Loving Itself] has, since 2011, with director Tiago Pereira, created an awareness of the knowledge and importance of an often forgotten living patrimony of oral tradition: Songs, novels, short stories, sacred and profane practices, music, dance and also gastronomy.
This awareness that is, in essence, a process of alphabetization of memory, reminds us of the urgency of documenting, recording and reusing fragments of the memory of a people. It contains, so far, over 2600 videos and more than 1700 different musical projects, recorded all across the country, both in the mainland and insular regions, with a particular focus on the Azores archipelago, with recordings from seven islands. The association has thus documented, with its unique artistic facet, the music that is lost and isolated in the hills and valleys, creating a gigantic acquis that is in a state of permanent continuity.
The main goal of “A Música Portuguesa A Gostar Dela Própria” is, above all, to collectively alert to the real importance of this work, that, in our view, is fundamental to the future, as it builds a collective memory that can be seen and heard, serving not only the interested public, but also researchers and scholars.

"Filhos de Moçambique"
In 2016, I had the unique opportunity to spend eleven months volunteering at an orphanage in the town of Mumemo, working closely alongside three hundred orphaned children. Run by the Franciscan Hospitaller Sisters of the Immaculate Conception, this orphanage provides the most vulnerable children with access to basic human needs such as clean water, nutrition, health and education. My ongoing project: "Filhos de Moçambique", provides an up-close and unembellished look at this nation’s ever-growing orphan population as they aim to break free of the detrimental cycle of poverty and finally establish dominion over their futures. Through the haunting beauty of these children’s gazes, I wish to create a dialogue between the past, present and hopeful future of this young nation.

Celebrating the release of Nome De Guerra, his new solo guitar album, André Matos presents a unique performance of solo guitar music over a set of images by photo-journalist José Sarmento Matos.
The second volume of André Matos solo guitar series, Nome De Guerra (war name), is in part an homage to Portuguese writer and artist Almada Negreiros´ novel with the same title. Matos explores the idea of a personal innermost ("íntimo pessoal"), that Almada talks about: something of our very own, sacred, unattainable by others, and that blossoms into our own individuality and personality.

Summer Nights Series will host the presentation of the book "Porto: Stories from Portugal’s Historic Bolhão Market" by Gabriella Opaz and Sonia Andresson Nolasco.
Divided into chapters that highlight the staples on a Northern Portuguese table, this book introduces one of the world’s richest, though often overlooked, culinary regions. It also provides invaluable advice for what to see, do, and taste when you visit.
Sonia Andresson Nolasco will attend the event to present the book.
Joey Batista, owner of Joey Bats Cafe will also attend the event where we will experience the wonderful portuguese sweets, Pasteis de Nata.
About the co-author Sonia Andresson Nolasco
Sonia Andresson Nolasco was born in Lisbon and raised in New Jersey’s Ironbound, Newark community, where a vibrant Portuguese immigrant enclave exists. Sonia's passion for Portugal and its culinary heritage led her to co-author "Porto: Stories from Portugal’s Historic Bolhão Market", a heartfelt portrait of a centenarian market and the octogenarian grandmothers that guard the region’s gastronomical identity.

University Settlement, Speyer Hall

About the show
An exciting premiere of new works by Rae Ballard is set to the music of three Portuguesecomposers, Luiz Costa, Eduardo Burnay and Alexandre Rey Colaço. Ecos de Vales by Costa, with its serene lyricism, evokes his native Minho area resplendent with natural beauty, and inspired a trio for three women. In contrast to Costa’s music, the popular themes and rhythms of Lisbon influenced Burnay and Colaço’s Fados. The three Fados chosen, also choreographed by Ms. Ballard, portray the strivings of a man and a woman, alone and together.
Dancers: Rae Ballard, Eleanor Bunker, Ilana Cohen, Daniel Fetecua, Catherine Gallant, Samantha Geracht, Erika Langmeyer, Lauren Naslund, Loretta Thomas, Margherita Tisato, Francesca Todesco
Narrator: Jim May
Pianists: Nathaniel laNasa and Isidora Vladic

About the artists |
Born in Lisboa, Portugal and now based in New York City, Sara Serpa is a vocalist, composer and bandleader exploring jazz and contemporary music. Since moving to the city, Serpa has been involved in numerous projects with celebrated musicians such as Greg Osby, Danilo Perez, Ran Blake, and John Zorn to name a few. Besides her duo with Portuguese guitarist André Matos, with whom she released “Primavera” in 2014, she has a collaborative duo with the noir-pianist Ran Blake (together, they have 3 albums, the latest being Kitano Noir (2015)), sings with John Zorn’s vocal project Mycale, and leads her own vocal ensemble, City Fragments. For the past two years, Sara has been included on the Downbeat Critics Poll list of Rising Star Vocalist (2014 and 2015).
The combination of the voice and guitar of SARA SERPA & ANDRÉ MATOS is MAGIC, DAZZLING and CALM. The Portuguese native and New York based artists work together since 2005. They achieved to create a UNIQUE SONIC WORLD, drawing upon pure and contemplative sounds through a personal approach to melody and poetry. Their musical identity reveals both their Portuguese culture as well as a certain allure inspired by the creative artistic environment of New York. Serpa and Matos have been performing their music in countries like Portugal, Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Belgium, and of course, the United States.

''Although Coimbra fado originated in the cobbled streets of the city, it is also performed and
enjoyed indoors on a daily basis at Fado ao Centro by passionate and talented musicians, all of whom are current and former students of Coimbra University. Our genuine love of fado is portrayed through our music which penetrates the heart and soul of the audience, even if they don’t understand a word of Portuguese.
Fado ao Centro can be translated as “fado in the centre” or “fado to the centre”. We like to
think of it as “fado to the core” - of our country, our city and ourselves. Our love of fado is so
strong that we want to share it with others, be they fellow musicians and academics, local fans who enjoy allowing themselves to be transported by the emotions aroused by our songs, or curious visitors who may never even have heard of Coimbra fado.''
Winner of the Edmundo Bettencourt 2013 AWARD

The Arte Institute is pleased to support Branko on his "Nosso" Album Tour in the United States.
"Nosso" Album Tour in USAYou may have encountered Branko before without knowing it – either through the music he made with the widely adored collective Buraka Som Sistema, through his label Enchufada or through his work creating, producing and presenting the travel show 'Club Atlas for Portuguese national television, his production work for MIA, or from hearing the monthly NTS radio show ‘Enchufada Na Zona’ - Branko is deeply involved in many facets of the creation and the ongoing establishment of new Portuguese-speaking music scenes. This had led to him being viewed as a kind of cultural agitator, active on many fronts besides being a recording and touring artist.
For his solo work, Branko has mainly released through his own label Enchufada, starting with a mixtape in 2013. On the 2015 debut album ‘Atlas’ he presented a Lisbon-focused global music perspective while connecting artists from all over the world, from Zebra Katz to Princess Nokia, Nonku Phiri to Mayra Andrade.
Recently Branko has again found a whole community of artists to enrich his innovative and warm sound with lyrics in Portuguese, English, Spanish and French on the sophomore album ‘Nosso’ (“Ours” in Portuguese). It features collaborations with artists including Mallu Magalhães, Sango & Dino D’Santiago, recorded around the world and finalized in Lisbon, where the producer has made a conscious effort to create a truly universal record.

The Summer Nights Series is an outdoors event that showcases cinema, music, dance and visual arts from contemporary Portuguese artists.
Film synopsis:
This film rescues the generational memory from several contemporaneous inspiring stories of Portuguese and Portuguese-Brazilian emigrants to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, its internal conflicts and sense of belonging to two lands, while creates a poetic visual document about the hybridity of the Portuguese cultural heritage in the wonderful city, intersecting past, present and future, by dialoguing with the literary approach of the book "Emigrantes" written by the author Ferreira de Castro, where he portrays this historical moment in the 20th century.

"A Música Portuguesa a Gostar Dela Própria", in English ''Portuguese Music Loving Itself'', is one of the biggest audiovisual collections of oral tradition and collective memory existing in Portugal. Founded in 2011, it aims to create an awareness of the importance and knowledge of the living and often forgotten heritage of oral tradition, songs, novels, short stories, sacrosanct practices, songs, dances and also gastronomy. This awareness, which is essentially a mechanism of memory literacy, reminds us that it is urgent to document, record and reuse fragments of a people's memory.

The Arte Institute is pleased to support Luiz Caracol & Bule-Bule tour in Argentina between 2 - 13 October, 2019.
About Bule-Bule:
''We created "New Traditional Dances" from the rhythmic roots and movements which are common to Portuguese, African and Brazilian cultures.''
This group came up after an invitation from the Lisbon Council in the summer of 2016 to work with a group of refugee men from Syria, Eritrea and Nigeria living in Lisbon. Together, Bule-Bule worked on the music and dance of each country - including Portugal - finding common bridges across the universal languages of rhythm and movement. They built a ball that took place in Ribeira das Naus where participants and the public intersected in an hour of sharing, discoveries, smiles and a lot of joy.
Since then, Bule-Bule has been working on the idea of the “New Traditional Dances” by mixing the languages of traditional and contemporary/creative dance with new soundtracks, new arrangements that transform the music of now and then.
https://www.facebook.com/oficialbulebule/
About Luiz Caracol:
Luiz Caracol is a musician, singer and author who has at his work a very own identity and personality, consequence of the urban influence between the city of Lisbon where he lives, and the cultural connection he has always had with the Portuguese speaking countries, such as Portugal, Brazil, Cape Verde or Angola.
His first solo album “Devagar”, released in 2013, featured very special guests such as Fernanda Abreu, Valete and Sara Tavares, and where he had partnerships such as Mia Couto, Zeca Baleiro and Jorge Drexler. In 2017 he released his second album "Metade e meia", where he returns having collaborations and partnerships of names like Aline Frazão, Fred Martins, Edu Mundo, Remna Schwarz and José Luís Peixoto.

About the band |
Mano a Mano is a band formed by the brothers André and Bruno Santos, two of the most refined Portuguese jazz guitar players. The duo started as a playgroup in their living room, which gradually became more serious along the way. They've now made their second album for which they composed and created well-polished musical arrangements, exploring the world of possibilities that two guitars can offer, also adding the Braguinha, a traditional instrument from their hometown of Madeira Island.
In addition to their beautiful musical and personal empathy, Mano a Mano mixes preciseness, groove and humour, making every concert a joyful and pleasant experience for every listener.

The Arte Institute is pleased to present the "Moçoilas" concert in New Bedford.
«Moçoilas» – Portuguese Folk Music from Algarve
New Bedford Free Public Library
June 4th, from 5:30pm to 6:15pm
Bring a lawn chair or a blanket to enjoy the sounds of Portugal on the steps of the Main Library!
About Moçoilas |
Inês Rosa, Margarida Guerreiro and Teresa Silva (the third line-up in a generation of women / moçoilas), the Moçoilas group was born out of a desire to revive and reclaim the songs of southern Portugal - more precisely the region of the Algarve. Forgotten or hidden in time, in the depths of a mountain range full of sounds, smells, colors and unique knowledge, these songs are part of and represent a large part of our cultural heritage. They reflect the soul and traditions of the Serra do Caldeirão, where singing has always been a representation of national identity.
Reinterpreting many of the old themes and enriching them with their own energy, the Moçoilas group have reached their 25th anniversary. Modifying some songs, appropriating others and paving the way for new melodies and new songs, they have had a prestigious career full of adventures, successes, experiences and a sharing of memories. And there’s no better way to celebrate this huge achievement than by releasing a new album named “Atão, Porque Não?” (So, why not?).

A piece that embodies the idea that in life everything flows. Things happen one after the other and the human being plays, gets distracted and grows in that fluidity. Events flow and influence each other. As a result, a million facts conjugate themselves in infinite different forms. The illusion of control may blind us from our own growth, for our only control lies on how we receive and deal with what happens to us. Illusion is attractive, seductive, persistent and perseverant. Our action is movement and movement is dance.
THE FLUIDITY OF THINGS dances the action of 6 bodies in space, time, interrelationships, without forgetting the role of stillness. What scares us the most? Fluidity or Stillness? Do we want to keep moving or do we want to stop?

Synopsis:
Two legends from Fado’s underworld, arrive in Berlin for the Gala that will be the crowning achievement of their careers. The live event is canceled due to new coronavirus restrictions. The Show will be broadcasted on the internet. What should have been the great apotheosis of a career turns into a small dinner. A night full of stories, poetry, sarcasm, music and so on. In a cold December night in Berlin.
A look into the most profound and genuine form of fado: Fado “vadio”. Through the eyes of two fado singers. An unrepeatable conversation with two of the most unknow iconic figures of Portuguese culture. The epic and cinematic gratification was lost but fado happened.
Directed by Ana Ribeiro and António Duarte
With José Miguel Vitorino, Márcia Cardoso, Maria Vasconcelos and Ana Ribeiro
Produced by Divas Iludidas and Berlinda

- Introduction of Proximal Spaces and the website by Joel Ong and Elaine Whittaker
- Proximal Poems Poetry Reading
- Open discussion with the Bioartists and public
Proximal Spaces is a multi-modal exhibition that explores the environment at multiple scales in concentric circles of proximity to the body. This work visualizes the variegated response of the biological environment to unprecedented levels of physical distancing and self-isolation and recent developments in vaccine design that impact our understanding of interpersonal and interspecies ‘messaging’. In the spring of 2021, six Canadian poets came together to pursue a lyric response to Proximal Spaces.
Joel Ong and Elaine Whittaker, Artistic Directors of Proximal Spaces, present a reading by the Canadian poets Kelley Aitken, nancy viva davis halifax, Maureen Hynes, Anita Lahey, Dilys Leman and Sheila Stewart followed by discussion with the Bioartists that created the artworks in Proximal Spaces: Roberta Buiani, Nathalie Dubois Calero, Sarah Choukah, Mick Lorusso, Maro Pebo and Felipe Shibuya.
FACTT 20/21: Trans-disciplinary & Trans-national Festival of Art & Science is exhibited online during 2021 with different events to be announced taking place throughout the year across continents.

About Moçoilas:
Inês Rosa, Margarida Guerreiro and Teresa Silva (the third line-up in a generation of women / moçoilas), the Moçoilas group was born out of a desire to revive and reclaim the songs of southern Portugal - more precisely the region of the Algarve. Forgotten or hidden in time, in the depths of a mountain range full of sounds, smells, colors and unique knowledge, these songs are part of and represent a large part of our cultural heritage. They reflect the soul and traditions of the Serra do Caldeirão, where singing has always been a representation of national identity.

Teatro-Cine Torres Vedras, Portugal
Avenida Tenenete Valadim N.º 19
July 23, 2021 - 9.30 PM (GMT +1)
A piece that embodies the idea that in life everything flows. Things happen one after the other and the human being plays, gets distracted and grows in that fluidity. Events flow and influence each other. As a result, a million facts conjugate themselves in infinite different forms. The illusion of control may blind us from our own growth, for our only control lies on how we receive and deal with what happens to us. Illusion is attractive, seductive, persistent and perseverant. Our action is movement and movement is dance.
THE FLUIDITY OF THINGS dances the action of 6 bodies in space, time, interrelationships, without forgetting the role of stillness. What scares us the most? Fluidity or Stillness? Do we want to keep moving or do we want to stop?

From distances and approximations to reality, explores the ephemerality of each point of view and material.

About the show:
António Silva and Nuno Castelhano met in 2018, in Coimbra, while attending the course “How to write songs” taught at Faculdade de Economia da Universidade de Coimbra by Brazilian singer-songwriter Adriana Calcanhotto.
In one of the creative exercises of this course, the first song entitled “Amor não consumido” was born. The authors decided to record and invited Adriana Calcanhotto to sing with them, which she readily accepted.
After releasing this song, the authors came to the conclusion that there was much more to sing and to explore in the future together. Having the Portuguese language as a privileged vehicle, the songs that they have been composing since then talk about themes that touch us all, such as love, disenchantment, people's way of being and the challenges that life in society provides. In this show Súnapsis for the first time we can hear this songs played by a quintet:
António Silva – Guitar and vocals
Nuno Castelhano – Vocals and acoustic guitar
Francisco Parada – Electric guitar
Buga Lopes – Electric bass
Tomás Parada - Drums

About the show:
A being who breathes music in his multiverse.
Through it, he discovers singing as therapy for his sorrows, hoping to drive them away.
With his past and body connected to rock, it's in pop language that he finds the means to express his various influences.
Emotivity, attitude, irreverence and neo-romanticism are key words to describe MARCIANO.
Over time he has often been compared to António Variações, Heróis do Mar, Sétima Legião and even Paulo Bragança. Released in 2017, “14.000 Dias entre Terra e Marte” (14.000 Days between Earth and Mars) is his first solo álbum.
Produced by Miguel Cervini and Mastered by Armando Teixeira (Balla, Knok Knok), the record portrays a wide range of references, converging pop, rock, electronic, folk, fado, gothic and industrial.

About the show:
Stone Breaker presents their live show in support of the “Hopes & Dreams” album.
After the release of their album "Hopes & Dreams" in April 2020 and the entire tour canceled due to the pandemic, Stone Breaker presents the live show for the 2021/22 “Hopes & Dreams” tour.
The 11-track album was recorded and produced at Moby Dick records studios (Braga) - under the baton of Budda Guedes, the same producer responsible for the works bands like Mundo Cão, Maria João Budda Power Blues, Monstro Mau, Vitor Bacalhau among others.
Stone Breaker are a rock band from Portimão formed by Ray van D, Vasco Moura, Bruno Vitor Martins and Ricardo Batista. With a sound reminiscent of Led Zeppelin's Rock of the 70s, Soundgarden & Black Crowes of the 90s and the Queens of the Stone Age or Rival Sons of current times, they are a band essentially united by their musicality and a strong friendship that makes them a family.
The music they write is a reflection of this - a true portrait of their travels, experiences together, the road, the laughter, the tears, the drunken nights, Fatherhood, Love, places and how they see the World.
"A traveling gipsy with a guitar in my hand Brotherhood and family The core of this poor band" in "Back on the road"
They've always heard the phrase "Rock is dead", but what others say doesn't matter, it's always worth pursuing your dreams and fighting for them. "Hopes & Dreams" is available on all digital platforms and on sale in limited edition CD and Vinyl.

About the show:
Fake Music For Travellers is a duo formed by Rui Veiga, co-founder of the label Pássaro Vago and the musician and actor Fernando Chainço. The main principle is to make us travel in a complex universe of multiple landscapes or a landscape of multiple universes.
Together they worked on the experimental music project CACO where they began to share the influences of the worlds created by Tangerine Dream or Brian Eno. In this project they focus on those atmospheric environments and heavy and sensitive textures with cinematic characteristics using prepared electric guitar and synthesizers in a free creation process.

The Arte Institute and the RHI Initiative have the pleasure to present the show 'ANUSIM and other works', on October 8, at Auditório Nacional Jorge Barbosa, in Cape Verde.
Auditório Nacional Jorge Barbosa
October 8, 2021 - 8.00 PM
The program ANUSIM and other works is primarily the result of an intercontinental co-production between two dance structures: Dança em Diálogos (DD) from Portugal and Dance NOW! Miami (DNM) from the USA. This collaboration happened through the mediation and support of the Arte Institute. ANUSIM was the piece created by the resident choreographers (Fernando Duarte and Diego Salterini) of both companies and integrating a program premiered in the 3rd edition of the RHI Initiative, organized by the Arte Institute.
Due to its fragmented composition in small parts, Anusim is a piece that can be presented by both structures separately, with each company being able to present choreographic excerpts of its own authorship. As an emblematic piece representative of this collaboration, ANUSIM is the denominator piece of this program, and the duet and trio created by Fernando Duarte for the ballet will be presented.
The program also includes other pieces from the repertoire of Dança em Diálogos by Fernando Duarte, namely the vibrant duet Divalvi, the video dance projection Tríade (Munhá/Duarte) and the duet version of the piece Tudo Quanto Vi - Um poema coreográfico para Sophia, a ballet created in 2019 as a tribute to the poet Sophia de Mello Breyner Andresen on the occasion of her centenary celebration.

About the show:
The interpretation of 'Ó Gente da minha terra' / 'People of my land' is an ode to our origins, a love letter to Portugal. For 2 minutes we tell the story of a son who insists on fleeing his motherland, but who finally realizes that there are no better arms to rest than the arms of the land where he was born. We are in the 21st century, in the era of globalization, in the era in which we try to escape from our people with eyes with a sea of "saudade" and happy words, with compact and aching hands, with callused and anguished feet, but with an easy and sincere smile.
People who have the doors of the home wide open by virtue of this art, which run in Portuguese blood, of welcoming. We try to escape from this land of clay roosters that scream in silence and the fado that cries the longing, of hearts of gold that only sprout from the chest of those who are Portuguese. We try to escape this land of wines and oils, of pilgrimages and tradition, of fado singers and poets, from this land of "saudade"...
If today's fado were sincere, It would sing "saudade" for this simple Portugueseness coming from a not-so-distant past.
* SAUDADE: word that only exists in Portuguese. It means the feeling of missing something a lot.

Cuca’s admirable voice involves Resende ́s magnificent way of playing, taking a journey through the best of Fado in an intense complicity, full of emotion and feeling. It is said that fado began accompanied by the piano, having later been replaced by the portuguese guitar. Cuca Roseta and Júlio Resende combine the best of the tradition with the future, evidencing the Portugueseness that everyone wants to see and hear now.
A unique and surprising concert.

The Arte Institute partners with Dança em Diálogos to present the premiere of 'Meia-história Encaixa', choreographed reading and movement workshop, based on José Saramago's 'Convent Memorial'.
Biblioteca Municipal de Loulé
R. José Afonso s/n, 8100-593 Loulé
February 18 and 19, 2022 - 10.30 AM
Reserve your seat at biblioteca@cm-loule.pt
Synopsis:
Based on the literary work 'Memorial do Convento' by José Saramago, MEIA-HISTÓRIA ENCAIXA appears as an integral part of the educational program associated with the creation of the ballet 'Memorial do Convento'. As a first contact with Saramago's work, this choreographed reading and workshop for children unites the literary universe with the possibilities of dance as a narrative expression that starts with the body and movement. The sonority of the word and the narration of the story find an echo in the performer's body that chains itself in a narrative movement between the characters.
Can a single choreographic body bring about the fluency that narrates the stories of Baltasar, Blimunda, Friar Lawrence, and other characters in the novel? And where do the wills come from? And how does the construction of a convent emerge as the setting for a love story that is surrounded by the greatest complexities of human attitude? After the choreographic reading follows a workshop where children are invited to explore the narrative basis of movement and how it proposes to characterize the figures, space and time of the novel's action.

The Arte Institute supports the III Edition of the initiative Walk for Rare, taking place in Cascais on February 26th. This initiative wants to give visibility and raise awareness of rare diseases' impact on everyone's lives, from patients to caregivers and the scientific community.

Walk For Rare is an official Rare Disease Day event and is open to everyone, either in person on February 26th, at 10:30 am in Cascais Bay, or virtually, worldwide, between February 25th and 28th. The challenge to all the participants is to walk about 2km and share photos of their walks on social media using the hashtags #JuntosSomosRaros, #WalkForRare #WalkForRarePortugal.
The entry fee is €8.00 ($8.00). Applications are open until February 25th and can be done online at www.walkforrare.org. All participants can also make donations that will revert to support the ongoing projects of Addapters Org.
