Desejar Academy

Started in 2024, the Desejar Academy is a space for artists-activators and different cultural, social, educational and environmental agents in Braga to exchange knowledge around themes they have identified as relevant. Desejar’s line of thought – the Academy – promotes two days that deepen reflection on this movement.

A group of local, national and international organisations and collectives whose focus is participatory and community arts have been invited to come together and think about the main current challenges in this area. We’ll be thinking while we prepare our lunch.

This event is repeated on 12 Jun – 10:00
