🎄 The Nightmare Before Christmas 🎄

This isn’t your cozy family holiday. Definitely NOT for kids.

🛑 Warning: Adults only. Leave your kids - and your holiday innocence - at home. 🛑

Stuck in Porto this Christmas? Looking for something darker, stranger, and wildly unpredictable? Forget the shiny traditions- the glowing lights, the pretty dinners. This is Christmas gone wrong: unraveled and flipped on its head— unapologetically bizarre, twisted, chaotic, and just a bit unhinged.
This isn’t the Christmas you’re grew up with—it’s the one you didn’t know you needed. You’ll laugh, cringe, and maybe never see Sante the same way again.

🎨 What’s Happening?

🎨 Art Talk: dive into Santa’s weirder, wilder side - Santa like you’ve never seen him — from buttplugs to the Coca-Cola conspiracy… Think greed, ads, and messed-up pop culture.

🍴 Dinner: A strange and unexpected feast that refuses to follow the rules. what’s on the menu? You’ll just have to wait and see.

🎁 And, of course, Personalized Gifts: But don’t expect cozy surprises. Your gift will reflect your answers to our Nightmare Questionnaire… the more honest you are, the better (or worse) your gift might be 🎅.

🎭 Freaky Surprises: Expect the unexpected. Santa might not be in a giving mood this year…

📅 24/12/2024, 19:00
📍 Location shared upon registration
👥 15 people max. Book now before Santa adds you to his Naughty List.

Join if you’re ready to ditch the sugar-coated traditions and see what’s really hiding under the Christmas tree.
It's time to face the real Santa Claus… and Oh Oh Oh… he's not so jolly 👹

Let’s make this a Christmas to remember (or regret). 🎄🖤

🍲🎨Join Our Art & Culture Hub-Community🎸📽

When I first came to Porto over 6 years ago, I had this wild idea—what if there was where people who love art, music, cinema, and food could come together? A place to share ideas, discover hidden gems, and really make culture part of our everyday lives.

It started with The Porto Art Salon's events — dinners around art, music-filled evenings, and conversations that left us inspired. But I realized it could be so much more than that. What if we built a community, a modern version of those Renaissance guilds, where people gathered to support each other and share their passions?

That’s how this hub was born. It’s a space where I share tips on the best exhibitions, concerts, and restaurants I’ve come across—and where you can share yours too. Together, we get exclusive offers, discounts, and access to the amazing cultural experiences this city has to offer.
We can plan gallery tours, film screenings, Jazz nights... anything.

But more importantly, it’s about connection — meeting people who share your love for art, discovering new ideas, and making culture something we live and breathe, not just consume.
But also influence the way people consume culture: as a community.

If that sounds like something you’d love to be part of, the link to join our group is in my bio. Let’s create something beautiful together.

🎸Philosophical, Raw, and Revolutionary: ' : This Search for Meaning' Takes Viewers on an Emotional Journey to Redefine the Music documentary 📽

⚠️TLR: You dont need to be a Placebo fan for this film gem⚠️

The recently released takes an unconventional approach to storytelling, steering away from the chronological format expected of documentaries. Instead, it explores Placebo’s story through philosophical and existential questions about , stardom, identity, and the inevitable highs & lows of . This thematic framing adds depth and emotional resonance, offering a reflection on the broader cultural landscape of the UK’s mid-90s " " era, an explosion of creative energy from which distinctly diverged, and its aftermath.

The film includes interviews with contemporaries like , , and , adding an almost voyeuristic feel with its -like visual style, referencing surveillance culture. However, some moments lean into clichés, including well-trodden narratives of drugs, alcohol, and personal turmoil, which slightly dilute its originality.

’s appearance is a standout moment, reflecting his role as a pivotal figure in Placebo’s journey. His mentorship during their rise to fame underscores the film’s exploration of artistic legacy and intergenerational influence. Bowie’s partnership with Placebo, particularly on collaborations like “Without You I’m Nothing,” symbolizes their alignment with the and the enduring power of artistic connection. The documentary weaves these moments into its narrative, capturing not only the band’s evolution but also their place within a broader artistic continuum.

While praised for its innovative structure, the film has sparked debate over its fragmented , with some critics and viewers wishing for a more linear recounting of the band’s career. Still, its evocative tone and philosophical reflections make it a compelling watch for and those interested in the cultural shifts of the era.

The most impactful aspect of the documentary for me is the ......

✨️Reimagined, Not Renewed: Vale & Ferreira’s Symphony of Influences✨

⚠️Just before closing on 16/11, last chance to visit. Enjoy an exclusive offer for members of The Porto Art Salon. Contact to join)⚠️

The João Pedro Vale and Nuno Alexandre Ferreira exhibition at Serralves Museum is visually compelling and deeply layered, redefining the use of the iconic Villa. This show takes viewers into often-overlooked corners—like the hidden basement kitchen and narrow hallways—making the space feel both personal and exploratory. 🏛️

Vale and Ferreira weave influences from multiple movements into a "patchwork" of artistic styles, reminiscent of Relational Aesthetics artists like Félix González-Torres and Rirkrit Tiravanija. In González-Torres’s iconic installations of candies and posters for viewers to take, we find echoes in this exhibit’s use of balloons 🎈, inviting interaction and reflection on shared experiences. The exhibit invites the viewer to become more than just a spectator—an experience enhanced by jackets provided at the start, similar to Ernesto Neto's wearable art. 👕

Their works channel the raw storytelling of Nan Goldin’s photography, with a grounding in social critique, personal narrative, and the clever, conceptual play of Elmgreen & Dragset. If the curator wove Elmgreen & Dragset’s work into this exhibit, it would blend seamlessly. The show feels like a quilt of familiar elements more than a step into the unknown.
With words presented as direct statements throughout, the literal approach can feel limiting, giving less room for interpretation.

Coupled with its many influences, the show sometimes loses focus. Yet, its immersive use of space makes this experience unique to Serralves—an architectural journey that brings lesser-seen corners to life. 🧩

In sum, Vale & Ferreira’s show is rich in aesthetic appeal and full of familiar voices, making for a captivating visit with a stunning integration of Serralves Villa's hidden spaces. This exhibition invites viewers to not just see art but to move with it, making exploration its own reward. 🖼️

🖼️ An Evening with Street Artists Dede & Nitzan Mintz 🖼️

The Poster of Our Struggle

📅 Date: 30/10/2024
🕖 Time: 19:00
📍 Location: The Porto Art Salon, Porto (exact location will be provided upon registration for security and safety reasons)

Street artists Dede Bandaid and Nitzan Mintz explore the impact of trauma through their work, focusing on moments when personal experiences manifest in public spaces. Their art, while powerful, maintains a commitment to peace, and has become a voice for those who are often overlooked.

After the attack on Israel by Hamas on October 7, 2023, Dede & Nitzan found themselves in New York, unable to continue their artist residency in the face of such devastation. They responded by launching the "Kidnapped" poster campaign, which went viral across the globe, translated into 35 languages. Their work was never intended to be political but was a call to remember the 250+ hostages taken in the attack.

This discussion is a rare opportunity to understand the connection between art and activism, and how creativity can bring attention to difficult realities. It is an important chance to reflect on the role of art in times of crisis and conflict, and why standing together through these moments is vital.

The event is free, but seats are limited — advance registration is required. Donations will be accepted, with all proceeds going to the *Campaign Headquarters for the Hostages’ Families*.

To secure your seat, and for additional information:
