Seeking to support and contribute to the flourishing of a greater number of independent cultural initiatives in the city of Braga, the Todo-o-Terreno programme aims to support projects that envisage a proposal for regular artistic programming in venues in the municipality of Braga throughout the year 2025.

 

The programme’s call for proposals ran from June 19 to September 12, for projects in the following artistic areas: Music, Visual Arts, Literature, Speech and Thought, Performing Arts and Film and Moving Image. The call received a total of 46 applications, which were assessed by a jury made up of Elisabete Paiva, artistic director of Materiais Diversos; Marta Bernardes, coordinator of the education and cultural mediation service of the museums and libraries of the City of Porto and Luís Sousa Ferreira, deputy artistic director of TNDMII. Eight projects proposed by the city’s cultural agents were selected to be part of the official programme of the Portuguese Capital of Culture.

The selected projects are:

  • Manifesto do Futuro, organised by Livraria 100.ª Página
  • (W)rap it up by the Purple Keys Records collective
  • Manoel Levy Candeias invites you to discover the voices of contemporary Portuguese-Brazilian dramaturgy through a programme of staged readings
  • Cindy’s Sisters is a programme dedicated to hip hop exclusively made by women, proposed by Sara Sofia Gonçalves
