[WORKSHOP] [ARTISTIC INTERVENTIONS] [RESEARCH]
Description:LABattoir has initiated a process of communication and dialogue with people living or working in the area where it is located, aiming to activate the neighbourhood, encourage the sense of community between its residents and renew the area’s identity both for its own users as well as for the rest of the city.
