INTRODUCTION

A festival celebrating the island's nature—from within.
Echoo was born in 2024 as part of the Nature Festival. The name "Echoo" evokes the idea of ​​echoing a message of well-being in harmony with nature, while also referencing "ecosystem" and "ecological."
It takes place over two days each year at Chão das Feiteiras, featuring a diverse program to be announced soon: concerts, casual talks on nature and sustainability, project presentations in these fields, and more; activities for all ages, a silent party, sunrise meditation, species observation, and much else. It is not a retreat; it is simply an event where one connects with Nature through leisure and socializing, all with environmental awareness and respect.

ART ZONE · 2026 OPEN CALL

Two installations selected from the 2026 submissions, to be discovered amidst the forest on October 10 and 11.

Adonis Galvão

A Portuguese-Brazilian artist living in Madeira since 2018, Adonis Galvão works across painting and installation, always centering on the relationship between nature and culture. For the Art Zone, he is creating the "Grande Ninho" (Big Nest): a human-scale nest, five meters in diameter, made from giant reed, ferns, and wood gathered right there at Chão das Feiteiras. You step inside barefoot, lie down, and gaze at the sky—leaving you with the question: how can we regain the feeling that we are part of what we need to protect?
