Between September 19 and 22 get ready to learn more about what culture and ecology have in common. The Alecrim Festival will take place at Casa do Jardim da Estrela and admission is free.
This is the first edition of an event that offers a very rich program, including concerts, workshops, performances and talks around the theme of the ecological crisis, through art and culture.
4 days of culture, activism and ecology
Organized by Casa do Jardim da Estrela and the collective Alecrim – Arte e Ativismo Climático, this festival integrates the programming of “Um Teatro em Cada Bairro”, and was inspired by international events such as “We Love Green”, in France, and “Ecoperformance”, in Brazil, intending to bring the public even closer to the environmental issues that plague everyone, in a fun and accessible way.
All activities will be free, with only the workshops requiring prior registration to the e-mail umteatroemcadabairro.cjardimestrela@cm-lisboa.pt
