Serralves in Light, which has already been recognized by The Times as one of the 10 best exhibitions to visit in all of Europe, returns in 2024 for a 3rd edition that will transform Serralves Park into a striking light exhibition, promoting the nocturnal enjoyment of this remarkable space through a unique sensory experience.

At a time of celebration for the 35th anniversary of the Serralves Foundation and the 50th anniversary of the April Revolution, the project marks "Dreams and Illusions" as the narrative of a journey, whose natural setting is the centenary Serralves Park in a nocturnal context, which provides the public with a fascinating interaction with light.

Based on pillars such as sustainability, innovation, creativity, environment and freedom and with the artistic direction of Nuno Maya in conjunction with the Serralves team, the 2.5 km route explores the magic of light based on interactivity, video mapping, LEDs and visual effects present in 25 installations, providing universes and unique lighting experiences that transform the perception of space and the natural, landscape and architectural elements of the Park, constituting an exclusive and unique project in the city of Porto.

An integral part of this route is the light and sound installation "Chirp & Drift", by artist Kathy Hinde, which consists of a set of illuminated instruments that vibrate with messages in Morse code, giving rise to soft sounds and harmonies made by accordion reeds that resemble a bird, as well as the projection of 50 April carnations, the result of the creative process "Liberdade" developed by the event's Creative Director and the Serralves Environment Education Service with 50 elementary school pupils from the Condominhas Primary School in Porto.

In parallel with this large open-air night exhibition, there will be a program of guided tours, which complement and enhance the experience of the different dimensions present: light, nature, art and architecture.
