Aura Festival - The Art of Light in Sintra
Aura´s 5th edition will take place between thursday 1 august and sunday 4 august 2019 in Sintra, one of the most famous historical places in Portugal. Each edition has been dedicated to a specific topic and shows works of art of light and interdisciplinary projects that deal in particular with Light as a means of expression in public space. From sculptural light interventions to video projections and new art, a wide range of artistic means is shared in the Cultural Landscape of Sintra.
In 2019-20, Aura will be dedicated to ecology and environment, and how human and non-human worlds are entangled in dynamic relations today and in the (imagined) future. Apparently, there is no global solution for energetic resources, biodiversity, climate changes, paradigm culture-nature. Therefore we encounter ourselves in a vulnerable and at the same time autocratic position in the so-called “era of the Anthropocene”.
