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.

We Develop

Projecto de Todos e Todas

With Marta Tomé e Raquel Senhorinho

Continuing the project O Antropoceno das Crianças, developed in 2018 and 2019 in collaboration with the Agrupamento de Escolas de Alcanena, and as a step towards sustainability and local enrollment of our activity, in 2020 we started a process of transmitting good practices, giving training for teachers and artists in the region who will be able to develop similar projects in the future.

In the academic year 2020/21, guided by the same principles as O Antropoceno das Crianças, Projecto de Todos e Todas was designed in collaboration between Marta Tomé and Raquel Senhorinho and the teachers of the 2nd cycle of the AEA. The environmental crisis is the backdrop for the various sub-themes and class projects, where arts workshops that inhabit and expand the classroom space are inscribed.
