The Materiais Diversos Festival promotes the meeting of different audiences and imaginaries around the arts (dance, theatre, music and performance) with thought, questioning actuality and fostering cultural participation as a condition for citizenship. Born in Minde, in 2009, it spread to Alcanena and Cartaxo (in 2013) and became one of the most representative projects for programming outside the large centres in Portugal, attempting to think and act from the places it originates. It had been occurring annually until 2017 and became a biannual event starting with its 10th edition in 2019.

From the 3rd to the 12th of October 2025, the Festival Materiais Diversos will be in Alcanena and Minde with a program of dance, theater and music shows, installations and conversations.

Partnership with Communica- tion Design course at Escola Artística António Arroio

With regards to O Tempo das Cerejas, throughout this past year we established a partnership with the Communications Design course at Escola Artística António Arroio, within the scope of of FCT – Formação em Contexto de Trabalho (Work-related Training). The students specializing in Graphic Design developed editorial projects for the texts produced in 2020 for O Tempo das Cerejas. We now share the work that was developed, the publications the students paged and the DIY versions, for those who wish to publish their own work at home.
