SOFAR SOUNDS FARO (2022)
The Contextos collective and the Plutão de Verão association came together to bring this event of reference to Faro, in the south of Portugal. Sofar Sounds brought together more than 400 cities from around the world, presenting a monthly live music curation in each city.

SARA SARA (2021)
Sara wants to leave the city where she lives.
Dark characters populate her memory, forcing her to use the most nihilistic weapon of all: sarcasm.
Sara hates the city where she lives. All the dilemmas she has, inside and outside, cause a temporal loop: a perpetual departure, without it ever happening.
If we don’t resolve what happened, do we remain in the past?
If Sara talks about a wound, will it heal?

RETROSPECTIVA DE UM FARO FUTURO (2021)
Through a reading of algarvian urban legends, we perpetuate the “fictional” memories that formed the collective identity that the Algarve people and, more specifically, the Farenses recognize as their own.
