Program Description

This AiR is organized by the Fine Arts Department / CSL - Carpintarias de São Lázaro and will take place within the center, in a close relationship to its neighborhood, the city and the local arts community. CSL are located in the historical city center of Lisbon, a special area, marked by a huge variety of multicultural communities. Last time the City council counted, people living and working near Martim Moniz Square belonged to over 100 different cultures. On a first glance, all these communities seam to be very different from each other, but they have characteristics they share, as e.g. their dedication to work and their traditional lifestyles. We are interested in proposals that reflect on the relativization of these cultural differences through contemporary creation, establishing approaches, where tradition does not impede the creation of new shared cultural contexts, helping foster the creation of new collective perceptions.
