It was a great challenge to imagine and produce this edition. Redefining a Festival during a pandemic forced us to many reflections and reconfigurations, and from that unknown place, many possibilities and solutions for the future emerged. It was strange not to have people present, but it was incredible to get reactions from multiple locations and realize that there are other ways to be present and close.

Thank you to all the artists and participants who built this 9.5 edition with ideas, projects, and hope.

Thank you to our sponsors, partners and suppliers who stayed with us: to the Regional Government of the Azores for being on the side of Culture; to FLAD for the continuous attention and for connecting us to both sides of the Atlantic; to Adega Mayor and Delta for being with us from the first hour and believing in these communal spaces; to MEO for connecting us to the world; to CM PDL for the working context, and to all suppliers for continuing to work and produce art.

Thank you to all the team that came together to make it happen!
Thank you to everyone who participated, visited and passed through Walk&Talk 2020.

9.5 has no end. You can see and review all the online projects, and there are new pieces to discover in São Miguel. Walk&Talk continues with its year-to-year program, and in 2021 we celebrate the 10th Edition from July 15th to 24th!

Always, from the Azores to the World.
