ABOUT

A house for culture, connection and creative exchange.

TEJÁ House is a creative and cultural space in Lisbon: a set of rooms shaped to bring different people, ideas and practices into conversation. It invites artists, creators, groups and communities from different fields to develop ideas, make connections and create encounters.

We believe culture has the power to connect us, to build bridges between people, disciplines and perspectives, and to influence the social fabric of our time.

TEJÁ House catalyzes those encounters. It is a space that welcomes curiosity, difference and the unexpected, where diverse voices and forms of expression meet, challenge one another and thrive, and where an encounter can become a collaboration.

We want to be a place where culture is not only present but made, shared and experienced.

Alongside the house, our independent production studio works with artists, communities and partners to develop and produce experiences and projects, bringing ideas to life with care and intention.

We see culture not only as a reflection of our time, but as a force that can help shape the cultural landscape.

And come eat with us: Gypsy’s kitchen and the bar run through the day, alongside everything that happens in the house.
