Évora_27 is an initiative resulting from the city of Évora’s application for the title of European Capital of Culture 2027 (ECoC 2027).

The “Our Lab” call aims to enrich the artistic and cultural programme of Évora_27 by promoting cultural diversity through the participation of international creators, and by integrating creative fields that are less represented in the Bid Book. With the goal of bringing to the Alentejo region a broad range of artistic languages and creative processes, “Our Lab” contributes to deepening reflection on European challenges, generating opportunities for cooperation, and enhancing the region’s international profile. Within the framework of Évora_27, the Alentejo will become a major laboratory for experimentation and cultural enjoyment.
