ATOS for Cultural Democracy

18 – 19 Oct 2024 / Free entry

ATOS is a programme that promotes artistic practices of participation and civic reflection in close cooperation with communities and territories.

Created in partnership between the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the D. Maria II National Theatre, under the National Odyssey initiative, in 2023 ATOS toured 40 municipalities from the north to the south of mainland Portugal, Madeira and the Azores.

The ATOS para a Democracia Cultural conference brings together implementing agents with other actors who play an active role in promoting cultural participation. The programme includes a keynote with Marcus Faustini, a Brazilian theatre director, filmmaker and cultural mediator, and two round tables discussing the different models of participatory art and cultural democracy as a public policy.

The publication ATOS – Arte, participação e território and the video essay Alcanço documenting the ATOS journey in 2023 will also be presented, summarising the experience of implementing the programme and bearing witness to its campaign to promote cultural democracy.

The second day of the conference includes two workshops led by Marcus Faustino and Hugo Cruz, aimed at training participatory arts professionals.
