O LUGAR DO MEIO

Lugar do Meio is a privately initiated space located in the village of Alfafar, in the municipality of Penela, where Carlota Lagido, the project's mentor and artistic director, and Nuno Patinho, the technical director, reside.

It was established as a cultural and environmental association in January 2022 by Carlota Lagido and Nuno Patinho, along with Francisca Manuel, Francisco Correia, Ana Piosik, Sérgio Marcelino, Bárbara Lagido, Sara Patinho Rodrigues, and Pietro Romani.

Lugar do Meio’s main line of action focuses on programming artistic residencies dedicated to transdisciplinary projects, as well as hosting performances and concerts that intertwine rural, traditional, and environmental practices with a collective spirit. Each presentation is an opportunity to gather with the audience around the table, fostering dialogue, critical thinking, and conviviality. Lugar do Meio is, above all, a home, a space inhabited by people, animals, and artists, and a place of ongoing celebration.
