Since 2017, Braga has been a UNESCO Creative City in the field of media arts, a title and position that integrates it into a network of more than 300 cities that place creativity at the centre of their social, cultural and economic development. Contributing to the legitimisation of this title is the international success of the Semibreve festival, the historic Encontros da Imagem, gnration’s artistic and training offer, and the growing number of artists working in this area, but also OCUPA, an event promoted by the AUAUFEIOMAU cooperative with the support of the Municipality of Braga and gnration.
With the clear aim of promoting a perspective on artistic production in the fields of electronic music and digital art, OCUPA has already presented eight successful editions. For the ninth edition, this initiative presents a programme of concerts and installations that promote the intersection of artists from the territory of the cultural quadrilateral, namely Braga, Barcelos and Guimarães.
