TEMPO (pt: time/weather)
There’s no time like the present. But looking back is important to better prepare for the future.
This year, we’ll take our time and savor every second of digital art at Inércia 2026.
We’re also hoping for good weather to enjoy the beautiful city of Almada - provided there’s time between the festival’s various activities.
Don’t waste any time, start working on your project now and set aside some time in December to visit Inércia!
