OUT.RA's Local Creation Grant 2023 – Winner announced

Tiago Franco

Leonardo Bindilatti is the recipient of OUT.RA’s Local Creation Grant for 2023.

 

Co-founder of Cafetra Records, drummer of the incredible Putas Bêbadas, half of the sweeties Iguanas, solo master beatmaker as Rabu Mazda, DJ (Music), sound technician and all-around agitator, Leo’s arrival to Barreiro a good three years ago was a valuable addition to the local panorama.

 

2023’s Local Creation Grant will serve to further explore the drums (his “preferred” instrument) and to develop and present a record with a specific focus on “the idea of beatmaking and live mixing, the use of the mixing board to make dub, a sonority that’s blended and purposefully saturated, within the composition of electronic music, dance, punk and noise, with simple and minimal melodies and short voice notes.”

2020 Creation Grant: Three projects selected in response to these exceptional times

Diogo

Due to the current status of the local artistic community, OUT.RA - Associação Cultural felt the need to provide our support to creatives and their creations in a more significant manner and have thus made the decision to, exceptionally, award three projects with our Local Creation Grant for 2020.

This annual grant has been awarded since 2016 to musicians and audiovisual artists residing in Barreiro and the surrounding urban areas in order to create and present original works. This year, each of the selected projects will be supported with 1000€ in order to achieve its aims and host at least one public presentation (when possible) of the work developed.

The projects selected cover a wide range of audio and visual creations and their intersection: the cross between sound experimentation and dance proposed by Sara Zita Correia and Marta Ramos, the multi-channel video installation devised by Camila Vale and the composition of three satellite-pieces to a contemporary opera by João Quinteiro.

Throughout the following months we'll be revealing more details regarding the selected projects and their journey towards completion.
