The Materiais Diversos Festival promotes the meeting of different audiences and imaginaries around the arts (dance, theatre, music and performance) with thought, questioning actuality and fostering cultural participation as a condition for citizenship. Born in Minde, in 2009, it spread to Alcanena and Cartaxo (in 2013) and became one of the most representative projects for programming outside the large centres in Portugal, attempting to think and act from the places it originates. It had been occurring annually until 2017 and became a biannual event starting with its 10th edition in 2019.

From the 3rd to the 12th of October 2025, the Festival Materiais Diversos will be in Alcanena and Minde with a program of dance, theater and music shows, installations and conversations.

Oficinas artísticas nas escolas: Tornar visível o invisível

Between October 2022 and January 2023, we resume our partnership with the Agrupamento de Escolas de Alcanena (Alcanena Group of Schools), to continue holding artistic workshops in the classroom, with an edition designed in collaboration with Marta Tomé and Raquel Senhorinho, and increasingly coordinated with the 5th grade teachers from the Agrupamento de Escolas de Alcanena, since during this school year, all the homerooms will be included in the project.
