This first, slightly unusual episode takes place in Mação, Portugal.
Here, all the partners of Transformative Territories – ArtMill (Czech Republic), Inland (Spain), Instituto Terra e Memória (Portugal), COAL and Parti Poétique (France), and Tavros (Greece) – gathered for a Transformation Campus alongside numerous artists, researchers, and students over three days.
Our aim? To explore how art can actively shape and transform the places in which we live. Through workshops, artistic interventions, and shared practices, we exchanged methods and experiences. By combining local knowledge, collective learning, and hands-on experimentation, the Campus enabled the emergence of new narratives connecting art, ecology, and territorial transformation.
This podcast reflects those exchanges, with the ambition of developing innovative pedagogical models to guide and sustain these transitions through art.

Transformative Territories explores the role of the arts and transformative artistic practices across territories through transnational research-creations, collective gatherings, the guidance of a scientific committee, the development of methodological tools, and their dissemination.
