We hope the network and training process will serve as the basis for artistic research that may be deepened,

transformed and shared after the program. Although the program does not carry on to a physical production, there will

be project presentations and concept discussion meetings, in which the specificities of each artist will be contextualized.

The contents generated will be documented and available by the LABVERDE network. Also the activity summary will be

published on an online catalogue.

LABVERDE aims to foster the hybridity of expressions.

Program is targeted toward adventurous individuals and nature lovers:

visual artists, musicians, writers, dancers and other cultural makers.
