Braga’27, Braga’s candidacy project for the European Capital of Culture in 2027, and Braga Media Arts, UNESCO Creative City in the field of Media Arts, will inaugurate a joint exhibition at the event “Noite Branca de Braga”.
Over the last decade, the city of Braga has expanded the geographical scope of its cultural and artistic practices, establishing relationships with European and international partners.

The works will be exhibited at Theatro Circo and gnration during the Noite Branca event, on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th of September, and admission is free.
The installations BLUR 2.0 by Jorge Ramos, Anna Kim, and Julien Gaillac (Portugal, France, and South Korea) and Forest Tectonics by Aistė Ambrazevičiūtė (Lithuania), co-curated by Kaunas European Capital of Culture 2022, will both be on display at the INL gallery of the gnration.
