In the autumn of 2026, three professional gatherings will take place as part of a cultural cooperation strategy between France, Spain and Portugal, co-curated by Materiais Diversos and the Institut français du Portugal.

Program to be announced soon.

November — Lisbon, with and during Alkantara Festival
The third gathering, taking place within the framework of Alkantara Festival, focuses on artistic circulation, exploring festivals as strategic infrastructures for visibility, value creation, a fairer distribution of resources, and sustainable international cooperation.

23–25 October — Minde, during our materiais adversos weekend
In its first edition, materiais adversos weekend emerges from the desire to sustain an ongoing artistic presence in the region between editions of the biennial materiais diversos festival. It brings together ten artists based in Portugal for a ten-day research residency culminating in open sharings and encounters with local communities and international professionals. Within this framework, the second gathering proposes a rethinking of models of production and circulation through the principles of mieux produire and mieux diffuser, placing the sustainability of artistic creation at the centre of the discussion through the FUTURΛ seminar. For this occasion, Materiais Diversos is also supported by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation in welcoming international programmers.
