Children hold a particular place in our collective imagination. Associated with innocence and hope, they are also recurring figures in political discourse: they represent the future, the continuity of a community and the possibility of imagining and building a different world. In a setting where Christmas symbolically evokes childhood, birth and the promise of renewal, this listening session brings together voices from different places and periods, reflecting both the times in which they lived and the beliefs and struggles that shaped them.

Matéria Prima, an independent space in Porto dedicated to music, publishing and contemporary culture, presents the second session of the Cravo e Canela listening series, in collaboration with visual artist and DJ Isabel Pereira.

The session takes place at Soma Café as part of Bom(Barda) Natal 2026, presented by Associação Quarteirão Criativo.
