The Iminente festival, created by the Portuguese artist Alexandre Farto, known as Vhils, celebrates this year its tenth edition. It is a cultural event that stands out for crossing a Lisbon in profound transformation and for questioning the traditional notions of center and periphery in the city.
Since its creation, the festival has sought to bring art and culture to areas often ignored by the conventional artistic circuit, discovering and enhancing the future in the margins of the Portuguese capital.
In this year's edition, Iminente occupies an abandoned school, in a gesture that symbolizes the reconversion of forgotten spaces into places of cultural creation and enjoyment. This year's lineup features an extensive program, which includes various artistic and cultural initiatives.
In statements reproduced by the article, Vhils expressed the wish that the festival one day will be recognized with the Prémio Pessoa, one of the most prestigious cultural distinctions in Portugal.
