Does who we share the stage with say who we are? The case of withdrawals from a comedy festival

CNN Portugal13 September 2026 at 09:17

Several artists decided to leave the lineup of a comedy festival because they disagreed with the headliner's public positions. These withdrawals became a case that raises questions about the association between artists and events.

The festival's headliner, whose name is not mentioned in the article, has public positions that were contested by the artists who were initially on the event's program.

Raquel Soares, a personal branding specialist, explains that choosing who we associate with is also a matter of values. According to the specialist, these choices can have an impact on the artists' careers.

The case demonstrates how professional association decisions can go beyond purely artistic issues, weighing on how artists are perceived by the public and the industry.

Sculpture 'Saudade' leaves Galeão and goes to Marina da Glória, previously put up for sale

The sculpture "Saudade", 1.80m tall, created by artist Beto Gatti, was transferred from Tom Jobim International Airport, where it remained for four years, to the promenade of Axia Marina da Glória, in the south zone of Rio de Janeiro. The piece, which will be on display for a month in Guanabara Bay, is part of the new edition of the Monumental Arte na Marina da Glória project, opening this Sunday (13). Along with two other bronze sculptures by the same artist — all for sale, with 20% of the proceeds going to the Associação Saúde Criança — the work proposes a reflection on how screens keep us connected but not always close. The exhibition serves as a preview of the arrival of ArtRIO next week, while Gatti prepares a show on the same theme in London.
