The "Plano Nacional das Artes" returns between September 2025 and March 2026 with the Bienal Cultura Educação #2. The focus remains on artistic and cultural programming for and with children and youth, aiming to facilitate the circulation of projects, promote co-productions, and create a network linked to the Biennial.

For this 2nd edition, the overarching theme is the question: “E em Vez do Medo?”

“E em Vez do Medo?” is intended as a broad reflection on the many ways we face fear, as well as an exercise in exploring possibilities in the midst of paralyzing anxiety. It is a question for which almost every answer is valid, because any act of creativity and vitality represents a first step of courage out of darkness.

“E em Vez do Medo?” is a silent manifesto that wants to be very loud, a ritual of rebirth. In the end, no civilization survives without learning to dance with its own shadows — transforming them into beacons, or at least, little lanterns to see by in the night.

Exhibitions and installations will take place across various spaces in the "Teatro Municipal".
