about
mono is a multi-cultural space located in
Graça neighbourhood, in the centre of Lisbon.
The project emerged as a response to the few
numbers of alternative models for cultural pro-
duction in Lisbon. mono’s main mission is to pro-
mote collective work between artists and other
cultural actors, promote national and internatio-
nal exchanges and to enrich the development of
critical thinking through questioning history, evo-
lution, innovation and humanity.

tal workshops. The exhibitions - solo or group
shows - welcome local, national and international
artists. Concerts (/circle session), performances
and workshops are also part of the programma-
tion.
mono is located in a neighbourhood that is not yet
saturated by cultural initiatives, which gives room
for experimentation. The studio wants to contri-
bute to the development of the local environment
with new cultural dynamics while adapting to it.
