Criar Cidade Cooperative

Criar Cidade is a recently started cooperative in Lisbon that works at the intersection of urban research, community work, art and culture, locally and translocally. We ‘create city’ with its inhabitants: centering the experiences, stories and imaginations of people we work towards a more just city. Our work is based on three pillars: ‘conhecer’ as of collectively learning about our cities ‘imaginar’ as of radically rethinking our cities, and ‘brincar’ as of taking ownership of the urban spaces through art, culture and collective action. We believe in the power of connecting multiple local experiences to understand the dynamics that shape our cities, therefore we are particularly interested in collaborations beyond Lisbon.
