OPENLAB's frame of work revolves around a basic question: what does to perform entail?

OPENLAB takes the form of regular working sessions although these sessions are not fixed in shape. The model is fluid: always changing, always open to dialogue within the group…

Please contact Antonio if you are planning to attend: antonio.delafeguedes@gmail.com

"While poverty persists there is no true freedom. Like slavery and apartheid, poverty is not natural. It is man made and it can be overcome and eradicated by the actions of human beings.


"And overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice. Massive-poverty and obscene inequality are such terrible scourges of our times - times in which the world boasts breathtaking advances in science, technology, industry and wealth accumulation - but they rank alongside slavery and apartheid as social evils."
NELSON MANDELA
