EXHIBITION "WEAVING THE REED"
The exhibition "Weaving the Reed" centers on the craftsmanship of reed mats from Forjães, a "know-how" that became the main artisanal industry of this village for much of the 20th century.
This artisanal labor is portrayed through the lens of Juan Pablo Moreiras, a French photographer whose work has illustrated numerous exhibitions and publications, including those of UNESCO World Heritage, as well as features in prestigious international magazines.
Additionally, this exhibition hosts pieces from the "Water Earth Fire" showcase, which are the results of work produced over the last four editions of the academic project "'Design' and Territory" by ESMAD, the Polytechnic Institute of Porto.

DANCE SHOW "ACADEMIA DE BAILADO DE ESPOSENDE: 38 YEARS OF DANCE AND PASSION"
"38 years ago, we started a dream with small steps but with a huge heart. Since then, our academy has become much more than just a dance space: it has become a home, a place of sharing, smiles, and stories that change lives. This year, we want to celebrate every moment that has brought us here. We will fill the stage with energy, emotion, and rhythm with the Hip-Hop classes, who have prepared something special for this important occasion. But more than a show, this is a tribute to everyone who is part of our family.
It is impossible to tell this story without thinking of the students who grew with us, the teachers who dedicated their passion, and the support of each family and friend who always believed. It is the unity of everyone that makes our academy such a special place.
Come and be part of this celebration, where every applause will be a thank you, and every smile will be a promise that we will continue to dance together for many more years. Because these 38 years are not just ours. They are all of ours. Let’s celebrate this story with our hearts and dance towards an even brighter future!"
