Hangar

The Residency program at Hangar encourages dialogue, exchange and experimentation. The program is non-prescriptive and process-based, allowing visiting artists to develop projects in response to their new environment, or to conduct research benefiting from Lisbon´s resources. The Residency Program is firmly established in the Lisbon art scene, promoting diverse cultures and practices through international and experimental projects. Hangar develops several International Residency Programs that give non-resident artists in Portugal or Lisbon the opportunity to live and work in Lisbon for a period of one month to three months (longer periods can be arranged.) The program aims to facilitate the international exchange and the exchange of ideas through artistic practice in the areas of visual arts, performance, photography and video. Through strategic partnerships in the international art world and institutions linked to cultural production and artistic research in various countries, mainly through the Triangle Network, Hangar program aims to strengthen the existing exchange between Portugal, Europe, Africa and South America. HANGAR is an Artistic Research Center, located in the area of Graça in Lisbon. HANGAR includes several platforms for action, including a center of artistic residences, studios for artists, an art education center, an exhibition and a public program. From the concept of unification of certain geographies, cultures and identities, HANGAR seeks to organize and produce the development of cross-disciplinary artistic projects in the Visual Arts, integrating public presentations and taking Lisbon as the focus of intervention. HANGAR is an independent space run by artists and curators. It is a place for experimentation, research and reflection on artistic practices. The space is a point of convergence of various areas of contemporary artistic processes. HANGAR aims to act as a catalyst of experience in the connection between artists, researchers and other artistic initiatives. It aims to encourage discussion of emerging contemporary art, stimulating the development of artistic and theoretical practices motivated by experimental and shared experiences.
