Desejar – Arts and Common Places Movement
Celebration of Desejar

This is a festival that is not a festival, but a movement that seeks to reinvent the very idea of who produces and consumes art.

At the same time, it calls for and creates conditions for critical thinking about the participatory and community arts that are developing in our demanding and contradictory times. This is Desejar – Arts and Common Places Movement which has been building this program with the Braga community through a monthly assembly. This assembly will continue to be central to this Celebration, with its epicenter in Braga’s Municipal Market, closing each day of the festival with a programming proposal.

Desejar is part of the Braga 25 Portuguese Capital of Culture programme/ Artistic Director and Project Coordinator: Hugo Cruz/ Executive Director: Simone Almeida/ Participation and Communities Director: Ana Bragança/ Technical Direction: Wilma Moutinho
