As a continuity of 2024, we are up and running a cultural space in lisbon’s underground station of Picoas.Together with artists from different fields, we will fill a 20m2 room with a diverse range of projects, ideas, workshops, exhibitions, performances, theatre, performance, video art.

The goal of the project space is narrow the space between pblic and artists by having a public space on a public transport system, in order to explore the unique dynamics and challenges of working in unconventional spaces like metro stations. 

We have an ongoing open call and projects will be selected according to space availability and relevance of the proposal. You can apply individually or collectively.
