10PM
VINDOURES – Pedro Barbosa
Performance

On 20 November, Black Consciousness Day in Brazil, this performance takes place on a day of remembrance, resistance and continuity for Black Brazilian communities. Moving between presence, spoken word, music and spirituality, VINDOURES calls upon other temporalities and opens a passage towards futures yet to come. We are not invoking the past. We are calling upon our ancestors for the future.

11PM
DIDI
DJ set

In this special set performance, created in honour of Black Consciousness Day, DIDI brings together DJing, singing and live percussion to evoke ancestral memories and technologies. Through beats, voices and rhythms, the performance connects past, present and future, celebrating the Black sounds of Brazil and its diasporas.

Pedro Barbosa is a Brazilian artist-researcher, Bàbálórìṣà and creator based in Portugal. Born in Salvador, Bahia, he develops a transdisciplinary practice spanning performance, dramaturgy, writing, installation and audiovisual work, bringing together ancestry, memory, the body and Afrodiasporic imaginaries.

DIDI is a transdisciplinary artist whose practice brings together research, arts and cultural production, curation, performing arts and DJing. As a DJ, they explore Afrodiasporic sounds and references from club culture and Black and queer experiences, creating vibrant, experimental dancefloors rooted in cultural connections.
