Islands of Tomorrow is a project developed within the framework of Ponta Delgada 2026 - Portuguese Capital of Culture that proposes a sensitive and continuous journey across the nine islands of the Azores.

Throughout 2026, at the Santo André Center of the Carlos Machado Museum, a series of sequential exhibitions will be presented, each one dedicated to a different island of the archipelago.

These exhibitions bring together images, objects, sounds and narratives that reveal the uniqueness of each territory. The first installation is dedicated to Corvo, an island revealed through everyday life, landscape, and its strong sense of community, opening the way here for the collective construction of the Islands of Tomorrow.
