Founded in 2011, OLD SCHOOL (OS) was a monthly project by curator Susana Pomba, housed by Teatro Praga, that presented new works by artists in a one-off night event.
An ephemeral moment where a work was rehearsed, produced and presented – the artist was invited to revaluate their work, try out new mediums, new collaborations, or investigate and rehash ideas and wishes that had never seen the light of day.
The relationship established between artist and curator, one that aimed at being mutual and that installed creative freedom, was inaugurated with a collaborative moment between both parties: the production of the promotional materials of the evening: a blackboard and trailer.
Between June 2011 and May 2013, the Old School project (2011 - 2018) occupied a warehouse in Xabregas (Rua Afonso Annes Penedo, Armazém 1D) in Lisbon, Teatro Praga’s former headquarters. From June 2013 to February 2018 it was one of the projects that occupied Rua das Gaivotas, nº6 (former Gaivotas School), in Lisbon, a cultural space also run by Teatro Praga.
