ocupa: rita silva + bruno rodrigues martins + diogo mendes

Since 2024, composer and instrumentalist Rita Silva, visual artist Bruno Rodrigues Martins, and multidisciplinary artist Diogo Mendes have been developing a research project that brings together their practices in a reflection on space, time, and the ephemerality of the languages they share. Vultures in a quantum space was born out of a desire to create a space in which sound, light, and video influence each other. This piece explores the sensory experience of space, where each element interacts in a continuous dialogue, revealing the fragility and transience of presence through an integrated audiovisual performance.

ocupa # 10 — perspective on eletronic music and digital art

For ten years, OCUPA has been keeping up with new artistic production in the fields of electronic music and digital art in Portugal. Promoted by the AUAUFEIOMAU, gnration and the Municipality of Braga, this initiative is related to and has contributed to Braga’s positioning as a UNESCO Creative City for the media arts. This year, in its tenth edition, OCUPA presents a programme of concerts, talks and installations that will take place at gnration and Casa Rolão.
