According to information from the institution: “Transforma is an organization based in Torres Vedras which facilitates physical, material and relational conditions for the implementation of theoretical and practical research and documentation processes in contemporary culture, in artistic and educational contexts, believing that the promotion of an autonomous and inventive ability to transform their perspectives is accessible to any individual. The research processes developed address the concepts of art, creativity and place, considering the particularities of the context where the structure operates and the global world in which we currently live, and the way in which these relationships influence the processes of creation, production and programming”.
