about

Rua do Sol is an independent selfmanaged space for the experimentation and production of new languages and contemporary art forms. It works as a cultural research center and an interdisciplinary creative platform that encourages the flux of ideas between different
communities and fosters the production of critical thinking about the world we live in. The artist collective Rua do Sol views artistic practice as a space open to the questions and contradictions necessary for the emergency of alternative scenarios of critical reflection. Its activity is intimately connected to the associative context of the building where it is based, promoting through its regular programming activity – exhibitions, concerts, performances, film screenings, talks and other activities – a sharing environment where the conceptual and aesthetic debate strengths the community bonds.
