São João is a special mural that perfectly describes what the celebration of São João means: the feeling that, no matter what, the celebration is also an inner "thing".

A hammer with two legs, a giant balloon reaching for the sky and a leek: all these symbols of Midsummer's Day feature in Mariana Malhão's mural, commissioned as part of the São João programme.

Her painting is a wall 40 metres long and 10 metres high.
