## Brazilian and Portuguese culture in Salzburg

### Cinema, movement and music

Brazilian cinema offers a way into conversations about memory, rights and everyday life. DAS KINO's [2026 Latin America Film Festival programme](https://www.daskino.at/fileadmin/user_upload/Lateinamerika_Filmfestival/LAFF_2026/PA_Lateinamerika_Filmfestival_Salzburg_26.pdf), dated 24 February-1 March, gave Brazil its first dedicated focus in the festival's history, with six contemporary productions and one classic. The opening selection, Kleber Mendonça Filho's *O Agente Secreto*, approached Brazil's military dictatorship through a mixture of political thriller and absurd comedy. The archived programme is a useful reading list after the festival: choose one film, read its Portuguese synopsis and try describing its central conflict in a few sentences.

Capoeira provides a different encounter with language and cultural exchange. Afro Ritmo's [A Wa Papo workshop page](https://www.capoeira-afroritmo.com/unterricht-workshops/workshop-a-wa-papo) announces a Salzburg edition for 27-29 November 2026 and explains its purpose in German, English and Portuguese: bringing people together through capoeira, dance, rhythm and history. Its title comes from Yoruba and means “we are together”; it is not a Portuguese phrase. Comparing the three descriptions is an optional reading exercise in how the same invitation changes between languages. The dated announcement also lets readers check the organiser's details before considering participation.

Portugal's contemporary arts have a place in the city's performance archives. The [Sommerszene 2024 programme](https://www.szene-salzburg.net/assets/uploads/11d5e678a2e7a61b3ac477/Sommerszene%202024_Pressemappe.pdf) scheduled Marco da Silva Ferreira's *Carcaça* at SZENE Salzburg on 4 and 5 June. Its account of the work connects community identity with movement drawn from folk dance and urban styles including waacking and kuduro. This offers a broader starting point for exploring Portuguese choreography than treating the country's culture as a single musical tradition.

Salzburg's instrumental music also creates exchanges with Brazil. In its [retrospective of the inaugural Mozarteum International Guitar Festival](https://www.moz.ac.at/de/news/2025/11/ein-aussergewoehnliches-debuet), held on 9-11 November 2025, the university records performances by the Brazilian Assad Duo and participation by teachers and guests representing UNESPAR in Brazil. This is a connection through performance and academic exchange. For a music-focused learner, it suggests investigating the duo's repertoire and practising the vocabulary needed to describe an instrument or a performance.

### Literature, exile and political memory

Salzburg's connection with Brazil also carries a history of displacement. The [city archive's account of Stefan Zweig](https://www.stadt-salzburg.at/archiv/juedische-geschichte-salzburgs/praegende-juedische-persoenlichkeiten/stefan-zweig) records his move to the Paschinger Schlössl on the Kapuzinerberg in 1919, antisemitic attacks and the unlawful police search of his home in 1934, followed by his departure from Salzburg. He later emigrated to Brazil. The city's memorials, including Stefan-Zweig-Weg and Stefan-Zweig-Platz, offer places to reflect on that trajectory and its context of persecution and exile.

Portuguese literature has a more recent Salzburg milestone. Lídia Jorge received the [2026 Austrian State Prize for European Literature at a ceremony in Salzburg](https://www.bmwkms.gv.at/themen/aktuell/staatspreis-europaeische-literatur-2026.html) on 27 July. The ministry's jury statement highlights her treatment of European colonialism, social inequality, racism and Portugal's 1974 Carnation Revolution. Her work offers readers another route into Portuguese history, with questions about whose experiences are remembered and whose voices are heard.

### Portuguese in a shared public space

For families, the Stadt:Bibliothek's [“Vamos falar português!” programme](https://buch.stadt-salzburg.at/Veranstaltungen/Kinder-und-Jugend/-Lust-auf-Sprachen) lists children's sessions for the 2026/27 school year with Raquel Flanagan, who comes from Porto Alegre. The wider conversation series uses books, songs and games to introduce language and culture; the Portuguese listing recommends prior knowledge. This makes a useful distinction between a cultural activity for children and an adult language class, while showing how Brazilian Portuguese is part of Salzburg's public library programme.
