Cali strengthens international cultural exchange: its urban art arrives in Braga

This event marks a milestone in the cultural exchange between Cali and Braga, sister cities sharing a vision of innovation and art. Artist Gabriel Mesek, a reference in Cali's urban art scene, will bring his work to the FENDA Festival, an international platform gathering contemporary proposals from around the world. His work integrates Cali's popular graphics, graffiti, and digital techniques, creating a visual bridge between Colombia and Portugal. The festival will take place in August 2026 in various public spaces in Braga, transforming streets and walls into open-air galleries. Attendees can enjoy live interventions, workshops, and exhibitions celebrating cultural diversity. The atmosphere will be vibrant, with music, color, and the energy of street art. To fully enjoy, it is recommended to wear comfortable clothes and suitable footwear for walking, as the route covers several areas. Arriving early will allow you to appreciate the artists' creative process. The weather in Braga in August is mild, with temperatures between 15 and 25°C, ideal for outdoor activities. Braga, known as the "Rome of Portugal," is a city with a rich historical and cultural heritage. The twinning with Cali, recognized as a UNESCO Creative City, strengthens ties between both regions, promoting urban art as a driver of development and mutual understanding.
