Bombarda cultural entertainment is back in digital format this Saturday

While the current pandemic asks for restraining measures and prevents exhibitions from opening, street liveliness of Porto Arts quarter will be brought to everyone's homes, by municipal company Ágora, on a digital format. 

The event "Bombarda em Casa" ["Bombarda at Home"] features drawing, photography and cinema sessions, starting today at 3.30pm.

The 2020 Season was scheduled to present "afternoons to exchange ideas", but the current pandemic demands that new rules are found to carry on with life and art, for that matter. Thus, the invitation is done online, where drawing, talking, observing and hearing is also possible, and also enables everyone to participate collectively.

Check the timetable:

3.30pm - 5pm: Drink & Draw Porto - Collaborative Digital Drawing

During lockdown and social distancing, the motto is the dialogue from experiencing the empty city by invited authors. What is the role of art when reinventing the city?
