SEPTEMBER 26, 2026 · 10:30 a.m. – 10:00 p.m.
Casa Novo Bowing – Center for Planetary Relations · Odemira
For the tenth edition of Open Day for the Planet, Casa Novo Bowing hosts the Guardians of the Mira project exhibition. Four artistic worlds come together around the river, and the entire day’s program is shaped by them.
In the morning, we begin in the kitchen with a “Culinary Laboratory of the River.” In the afternoon, the exhibition intersects with experiences centered on nature, clay, listening, and fiction—activities designed for young children—as well as conversations, walks, and performances.
A day to journey from one bank to the other.
