PADA Studios is an independent, not-for-profit, artist-led organisation based in Barreiro, on the south bank of Lisbon. Founded in 2018, PADA offers artists the time, space, and support to develop their practice in a unique postindustrial setting. Our residency programme fosters dialogue, experimentation, and critical exchange within a collaborative environment.Located within a former industrial park with roots dating back to 1885, the site provides artists with direct access to local fabricators, material resources, and the rich historical context of the area. This environment inspires innovation and hands-on production, supported by spacious studios, workshops and a dedicated gallery space.
