The Festival that introduced the new generation of artists from Faro |
Faro2027 has sought to work on the empowerment of cultural agents. South Music assumes itself as a way that the cultural and creative sector can be supported, encouraged and disseminated.
Besides the central objectives, Faro2027, presented SM - Geração Cápsula. A new generation of musicians (14 to 18 years old) from Faro and the Algarve were chosen through curatorship by the artists Ana Tereza and Filipe Cabeçadas. The performances happened with the support of the association ArQuente, taking place in their headquarters. Besides that, other elements of Geração Cápsula were invited to present workshops in their artistic area.
To increase Faro's digital footprint and because it happened during the Covid-19 pandemic period, the event had a very specific digital component. The so called "SM - Virtual World" allowed the audience to watch the concerts online and visit the festival in a free-to-play game format. This digital component allowed to invite two bands from the Jelgava rock school (Latvian candidate for ECOC 2027) to perform virtually: Viktorija and Pigeon Under the Glass.
