2021 edition

Exodus Aveiro Fest

The Exodus Aveiro Fest is an international festival of photography and video of travel and adventure that has a mission of cultural, human and environmental dissemination through the sharing of some of the best professionals in the world in these areas at the Centro de Congressos, in Aveiro.

The festival is unique and already considered beyond borders as one of the best in the world, promotes decentralization as a principle and has solidified itself in Aveiro. Welcoming renowned artists, it promotes cultural access and development while stimulating the participation of local and regional communities, before and during the event itself.

Exodus is the festival of human, cultural, social and environmental values. This is the mission. To bring the local community closer by creating a genuine and international dimension. It is the festival of travel, adventure, curiosity and the “challenge to challenge ourselves”, united and inspired by values. It is the starting point for a more tolerant world, sharing the best works of photography and video on the themes that have more value for their dissemination and preservation, inspiring knowledge and discovery.

At the event, we will have presentations of projects, portfolios and personal stories lived by great talents and influential photographers and videographers. There also will be powerful masterclasses for those seeking the opportunity to evolve and perfect their art of visual creation; and photography exhibitions, with breathtaking galleries that will take participants to see beyond.

The word “Exodus” can be defined as people in motion. Join the Exodus Aveiro Fest and be part of this global creative movement!

City of Aveiro

Aveiro is a city of magic. As Miguel Esteves Cardoso says “a city with the right size”. Embracing the edge of the Ria, a shallow coastal lagoon rich in birdlife, Aveiro is a prosperous city, full of history and culture, with a youthful and energetic vibe. It is occasionally called the Venice of Portugal because of its high bow boats, arched bridges and a small network of picturesque canals.

Aveiro is known for its salt production and seaweed harvest. The region is also known for the preponderance of ceramic industries and commerce, which result in a long productive tradition since the Roman period and the beginning of the medieval period.

We cannot forget the traditional sweets – the Ovos Moles de Aveiro and the Trouxas de Ovos, both made from eggs, and also the Raivas, typical biscuits of this region.

After the first edition, which exceeded expectations by filling the auditorium with more than 700 people each day, we realized that we could not have chosen a better place to hold this festival. The community spirit that is felt among the whole audience, with a contagious energy of sharing, curiosity and emotion, is unmatched.

Event

The return of Exodus Aveiro Fest is set for the 27th and 28th of November, in the usual place, the Aveiro Congress Centre.

It’s time to bring the world back to our community! To return to inspiration, to dream, to inform…  Together, once again, in our house!

Exodus Personality of the Year

To honour the work and the dedication to humanitarian causes in the field of photography and video is part of the vision behind the Exodus Aveiro Fest. For that reason, we’ll try to homage great personalities of the world of photography and video but also activists or defenders of human and nature rights with top careers, award-winners with a path marked by the dedication to humanitarian, social and/or environmental causes.

ExodusCauses

By participating in the Exodus Aveiro Fest, you are contributing to ExodusCauses, which is a funding route that allows the channelling of part of the profits made at the festival to an entity working in environmental conservation or social projects.

From environmental causes to social causes, ExodusCauses has already made its best contribution, thanks to all those who trust us and are part of Exodus year after year.

In 2017, we supported the BioLiving Association, a non-profit environmental association, with projects dedicated to reforestation.

For ExodusCauses 2018, the organization chosen was Amnesty International. This organization fights for the defence of human rights and against social injustices all over the world.

In 2019, we chose a different project, FotoEvidence, an organization that uses photography to draw attention to human rights violations, injustice, oppression and attacks on human dignity. This support came in the form of a commemorative exhibition and is now part of the photographic archive of our event.

The year 2020 is atypical, and this year’s ExodusCauses is also atypical. We support not one but two projects, the CAIS Association and Agora Aveiro and their project Plantar o Futuro.

If we can inspire others to travel with our journeys, we can also encourage them to participate in the eradication of forgetfulness actively. Is there any project or entity that works with the same values of this festival, and you would like it to be supported? Then share with us!

    There is no one better to say how good the Exodus Aveiro Fest is, as those who have experienced it.

    Breathe with us (blog)

    “Had a great time this weekend at the very first National Geographic Exodus Aveiro Fest, a brilliant event about photography, video, and travel. All of this with excellent and inspirational speakers from around the world.

    It’s refreshing to see this kind of events being held in my hometown and I’m already looking forward to next year’s edition!”

    Vanessa Costa

    “Congratulations to all the team for providing us with this extraordinary event. These were inspiring days filled with fantastic stories, shares of talent and, above all, human beings that make us believe in a better tomorrow.

    To overcome, only if it were around a bonfire under a starry sky.

    Let the 2018 edition come! “

    Carlos Pimentel

    “The best I have ever seen in Portugal. Photography as a vehicle of good and how it has the power to change the world. Congratulations to the whole team. Next year I’m there again.”

    Leo Vieira

    “I have no words to describe this event as well as the people around it.

    A huge thanks to the organization for these days of magical sharing.”

    Paulo Alexandre Carvalho

    “God knows what it cost to go to work today! Thanks for the Friday and Saturday! Fantastic! There are events with years of existence without the quality of this event that was only the first year. An event that Aveiro never had and that has long deserved. Congratulations on this event. I cannot wait for next year! After this year, what will come is the question. Expectations on the rise!”

    Nataša Gološin

    “In the last two days, we were able to hear and learn so many interesting and meaningful things, from some truly inspiring people.
    Thank you NG Exodus Aveiro for bringing all those brilliant guys, including Yann Arthus-Bertrand, 200m from my house <3
    Keep rocking!”

    Eduardo Ventura

    “Awesome experience… The best I’ve had in a long long time. Not only in a photographer’s perspective but also in a human relationship’s perspective… The organisation was great and they deserve our respect…”

    Kika Silva

    “An event, where someone who likes photography but little or nothing knows, starts to feel and realize that a machine and a photo, are more than an object and a memory, are moments lived, are new friendships, are new experiences of life and are a way to show the world, so much reality. Undoubtedly National Geographic Exodus Aveiro Fest, are those two days that deserve to be lived to the fullest. Congratulations”

    João Nunes da Silva

    “One of the best events I attended last year, very good! Excellent organization, good ambience and quite interesting subjects for photographers, travellers, journalists, lovers of the natural world and adventure. Whenever I can, I’ll be there!”

    Marcel Andrade

    “It is a fantastic experience that awakens our socio-environmental awareness. Congratulations to Bernardo Conde and his team!“
