↗ I would very much like to tell you more about Sementeira and what brought me to the Left Bloc :)

● 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.

● Not long after a disastrous election result, Sementeira could not let its guard down, and the tenth edition consolidated this celebration as the most attended one yet, celebrating «Art, insubmission and community».
