For the 2026’s edition of Estação Viva Festival, the curatorial approach included an Artists-in-Residence programme developed in partnership with the University of Aveiro (Portugal) and Babeș-Bolyai University (Romania). Hosted at the Egas Moniz Casa-Museum in Estarreja, with the support of the Municipality of Estarreja, the programme created conditions for site-responsive and relational artistic practices in dialogue with the festival context developed by Master’s students in Art and Media.
