'Do Common' Programme: Call for the Occupation of the AND Lab Space

DO COMMON PROGRAM

CALL TO OCCUPY THE AND LAB SPACE

Season 2023-2024

DO COMMON is a housing program of AND Lab Space, whose main objective is to contribute to the dynamization of the artistic and cultural fabric of Lisbon, providing space for work, dialogue, meeting, research and sharing of practices inserted in the scope of work AND Lab - Art, Politics, Community. Extensive (self)care and expression-creation practices are welcomed, such as regular classes/sessions, workshops and artistic residencies. We are also open to proposals for events, such as study groups, book launches, conferences and lectures, meetings and gatherings, exhibitions and informal presentations etc.

The local artistic community, cultural agents and the general public are invited to mobilize together in the making (of) the common, spreading it from the most immediate surroundings and researching, through attendance, ways to infiltrate and sustain community modes of coexistence in urban daily life, combining (self) care, sharing of artistic achievements and responsible co-participation at the collective level.
