In the next edition of Talkfest there will be a photography Exhibition dedicated to “The Power of Festivals" - 21 Portuguese festivals, which can be defined only by a moment in a photo. The exhibition seeks to show and value a positive and expressive vision of the history of music festivals in Portugal, based essentially on the year 2017. The photos were taken by its audience and by amateur photographers. The challenge given to the visitors of the exhibition is to analyze each of the 21 displayed photographs that are always accompanied by their history, regardless of whether the festival is larger or smaller, new or already established with several editions, what matters is the energy, the power.


APORFEST - Portuguese Music Festivals Association gives free access to all its professional and company/festival associates that have a valid quota on the days of the event (Iberian Festival Awards - VIP access, with open bar; Talkfest - access to all activities).
