The intimate “non-festival” consisted of three days of wine, music, creative workshops and thought-provoking talks.

Last weekend’s CAMP’22 turned Morgado do Quintão into a cultural and artistic meeting point that brought together musicians, creators and thinkers with the public.

More than three hundred people visited CAMP’22, the non-festival, which took place among ancient vineyards, under an ancient olive tree, and in an ancient olive oil mill.

Over the three days, the CAMP’22 programme also included Talks on various topics, from photography to sensorialism, astrology to poetic creation, ecology and urbanism. Names such as Lourenço Lucena, Isabel Saldanha, Teresa Júdice da Costa and Rita Castel’Branco were part of a panel of speakers in inspiring conversations.

“For three days, CAMP brought together thinkers, musicians, creators and wine, celebrating the union of culture and agriculture”, says Filipe Caldas de Vasconcellos. “This non-festival, born on agricultural land, is proud to have served as a platform and bridge, facilitating access to a larger, more comprehensive type of culture. A seed has been sown for future editions.”
