The story

Sete Sois Sete Luas Residency Cycle in Brava/Sao Filipe/Maio/Ribeira Grande

A multi-island artistic residency programme running Cabo Verde's local branch of the Sete Sois Sete Luas cultural network, with legs across Fogo, Brava, Maio and Ribeira Grande in Santo Antao. Visiting and local artists build workshops, exhibitions and joint creations in each community rather than staging one fixed concert.

Four separate islands sharing one touring residency programme is unusual even for a network built on itinerancy: Fogo, Brava, Maio and Santo Antao's Ribeira Grande municipality each host a leg of the Sete Sois Sete Luas Residency Cycle, Cabo Verde's local strand of an artistic-exchange network founded in 1993 that now links roughly thirty towns across nine or ten countries, among them Croatia, France, Italy, Morocco, Portugal, Spain and Tunisia alongside Cabo Verde.

What is special

The part that makes it specific.

01

The place changes

The defining feature is the four-island format itself: rather than one town hosting one edition, the Cycle distributes residency legs across Fogo, Brava, Maio and Ribeira Grande in a single run, a structure that mirrors the wider Sete Sois Sete Luas network's model of pairing artists of different nationalities inside temporary joint creations across roughly thirty partner towns in nine or ten countries

02

The mystery stays covered

It is organised through the Centrum Sete Sois Sete Luas with Ministry of Culture backing, and functions as the production and educational side of the network's presence in Cabo Verde, distinct from a single ticketed festival night
