  • PADA recognises the role it has to play in preserving the environment and is committed to reducing the carbon footprint of its activities.

    We aim to improve our practices whilst advocating for artists to consider the environmental impact of their practice. Across the residency and gallery programmes we hope to minimise our impact and create a sustainable environment for the production and presentation of artwork.

    We have therefore worked with Alice Bonnot of Villa Villa, external sustainability consultants, to develop this eco-vision, assess our existing efforts and actions, and identify our next steps towards a sustainable operation of the gallery and art residency.

  • We believe conversation is a vital ingredient to a healthy studio practice.

    Working with artists that have been at PADA we have developed the Long Range Studio Visit series. These are online conversations akin to physical studio visits, connecting artists across the world.

  • The post-industrial landscape around PADA offers Artists-in-Residence a unique opportunity to experiment with site-specific projects and interventions.

    Over the years, many artists have interacted with this environment, utilising the vast derelict warehouses and examining the rich industrial history. These projects re-energise and reimagine the industrial landscape of Barreiro.

  • Territory refers to possession, conflict and control, it speaks of history and consequences. Territory is managed space; marked for development or protected or exploited for raw materials, used to displace or contain it is socially constructed. The production of Territory is the institutionalisation of space to achieve control. Territory manifests a slow transgenerational violence.

    Sluice and PADA are bringing together an interdisciplinary selection of artist and curator-led projects to explore the impact and interconnections of the ecological, environmental and political consequences of this violence.

    Territory is a year long focus which will culminate in Lisbon on 11 - 13 November. The event will run in conjunction with Lisbon Art Weekend. Exhibitions, performances, screenings and talks will be situated throughout the Barreiro district. A selection of the participating projects will be in residence in the weeks preceding the event, others will come solely for the Art Weekend.
