Exploratório

Welcome to this multifunctional space, home of the Porto Design Biennale.

Porto Design Biennale headquarters

The Exploratório is the headquarters of the Porto Design Biennale. Located in the same building as esad—idea, this multifunctional space opens up the world of Design to the community through a continuous program of exhibitions, talks, workshops, performances and events.

In addition to the activities, the Exploratório features a concept store where you can find a selection of objects and books on Design, Art and Gastronomy. It is also a free shared workspace.

Exploratório Walks

The Exploratório Walks programme is a proposal from esad-idea that will welcome guests from different areas who will propose connections between places, experiences and themes.

The walks will take place regularly throughout the year and can be critical - with discussion of themes while walking - and/or creative - with silence and deep listening, visual representation or selective recollection as creative processes or in which the walk itself is a performative act.

This project is funded by FCT - Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia, I.P., under the project UIDP/05237/2020.
