From 14 to 16 September, the Portugal Pavilion at Expo 2025 Osaka will host "Waves of our Lands," an immersive installation celebrating the deep identity of three Portuguese regions united by the ocean: Porto and North, Centre of Portugal, and Alentejo.
Curated by the Serralves Foundation and with creative direction by Nuno Maya (OCUBO), the experience invites visitors to dive into a sensorial universe where images, sounds, and rhythms evoke each territory's natural, cultural, and emotional heritage.
• Porto and North – the strength of the mountains and rivers flowing into the Atlantic, the wine rituals, pilgrimages, and UNESCO World Heritage sites.
• Centre of Portugal – historic villages, monasteries, and universities, between mountains and a flowered coastline, shaping a landscape of memory and knowledge.
• Alentejo – the vast plains, the cante alentejano singing tradition, and the flavours of the land, culminating in Évora – a World Heritage City and European Capital of Culture in 2027.
Everything merges into one movement: vivid, pulsating, infinite—a journey that crosses the physical and immaterial sea of emotions that define Portugal.
