The commitment

Established on October 12, 2024, Módulo Twist seeks to redefine the relationship between artistic talent and space. 

Our mission is to create a daring, relaxed, and thoughtful environment—a module that finds its true purpose when infused with creativity.

Módulo Twist creates a space where the past meets the future—where innovation and tradition intersect. It is a meeting point for artists, thinkers, and art lovers to share, experiment, and connect.

We believe in the reciprocity of ideas and the importance of artistic collaboration. We envision Módulo Twist fostering research, learning, and engagement with contemporary art trends. It aims to be a hub where the local community and visitors can immerse themselves in the art world.

We are committed to creating literal and metaphorical bridges to strengthen the artistic dynamics of Marvila, Lisbon, and Portugal.

Who are we?
