On November 8, 9, and 10, the village of Trafaria and the Convent of Capuchos will host Periphera 2024, the Digital Art Festival that offers a meeting point between technology, art, and innovation. For three days, the festival will explore the boundaries between art and technology, fostering reflection on the transformative impact of these intersections through exhibitions, performances, lectures, and workshops.

These experts will tackle innovative topics through round tables, performances, and exhibitions.


In addition to the lectures, Periphera will offer participants an immersive experience with workshops focused on emerging technologies such as 3D printing and immersive realities, allowing direct interaction with new technological trends. Another highlight of the festival will be the presentation of eight artistic proposals developed during the artistic residency held at the Trafaria Prison, exploring the intersection of art, technology, and community.
