‘The Traces Of Water’
First Edition
16 Jul 2026 – 6 Sept 2026
Cascais, 2750 Cascais, Portugal
Under the evocative theme “The Traces of Water” the biennial unfolds as an open and welcoming encounter within the worlds of art and culture, built around an interdisciplinary project that brings together Arts, Science, and Technology.
About the event
Counting with the presence of Artistic names such as Marina Abramović, Anish Kapoor, Yoko Ono, Joana Vasconcelos and others
This interdisciplinary approach expresses excellence in creativity across multiple fields—painting, public sculpture, installations, performances, photography, video, and technology—moving beyond rigid museographic conventions to engage with the city and its diverse audiences and social sectors. Activities take place in public and private spaces, as well as in symbolic and institutional sites.
Water is approached not only as a natural resource or environmental element, but as an anthropological symbol, cultural memory, technological structure, spiritual resonance, and a contemporary ethical challenge—within the framework of a new humanism that calls for rethinking the relationship between humanity, nature, and innovation.
