●           We joined the organisation of Sementeira, a multidisciplinary festival organised by the Left Bloc Viseu, in 2017.

●           Sementeira was born out of conviction and volunteerism, with complete autonomy, taking over a spacious party headquarters in the historic centre to promote the talent of creatives, artists and craftspeople — no sponsorships, no filters, no imposed themes. For two weeks in July, the space becomes a «fertile ground» for exhibitions, concerts, workshops, performances, political debate. Curation is collective, participation open to all, and the targets are the self-censorship and isolation common in weak (read: scattered, disconnected) creative ecosystems. Sementeira is a coalition of minority and marginalised sensibilities taking centre stage.

●           For the 6th edition, in a discreet evocation of the catastrophe of the previous yearʼs fires in Portugal (2017), the editionʼs identity was based on a drawing by Pedrokas: a mutilated female figure, in a defiant pose, as if representing the forest.
