For the 6th EDITION of WOOL, we brought to Covilhã a group of 4 artists,that were invited to develop interventions in the historic center, once again inspired by the local identity, which we consider to be everything that makes this place unique: traditions, songs, gastronomy, personalities, history, fauna and flora, etc.
