A Living Bridge Between Worlds

The Abela Art Faire is more than an exhibition - it's an invitation to co-creation. Artists, locals and visitors come together to explore the meeting points between:

International ↔ Local - artists from all over the world connect with Abela's welcoming community

Traditional ↔ Contemporary - craftsmanship meets innovation

Digital ↔ Physical - from digital art to large-scale installations in the natural landscape

Community ↔ Individual - personal expression through collective creation

✨ Join us to celebrate the beauty of connection - between people, art and nature.

    Confluência | 24–27 september We're gathering at Traditional Dream Factory (tdf) for the first edition of Confluência, a burn-style gathering exploring what becomes possible when people working towards regenerative futures come together. Six interconnected themes: 🌿 Land Stewardship · restoring ecosystems, soils and water 🌍 Bioregional Development · connecting projects and communities at landscape scale 🫂 Relationality · movements grounded in inner work, care and repair 🌱 Post-Capitalist Organising · working beyond extraction and endless growth 🏘️ Local Integration · relationships with neighbouring communities, cultures and local knowledge 💸 Finance & Resourcing · how money and resources can nourish people, projects and ecosystems We don't offer a fixed program. Instead, we offer a strong container with the land, the themes, and the people coming together. Come to share what you're doing. Come with questions. Come to listen. Come with offerings and gifts. Come to be changed by what emerges. Or reach out to explore your role. 🎶 Saturday night: concert with Andreia na Terra Singer-songwriter Andreia na Terra and her band play the outdoor stage at 20:30.
