Immersion in the Spira Lab Territory
Collaborative programming offers the time, space, and tools necessary for the development of projects that seek a deep immersion in the specificity of the territory . Through Spira Lab, we use local identity as a living working tool, fostering dialogue between creators from different disciplines.
Our Collaborative Programming is structured around Casa Spira and Mercearia Spira, two establishments in Vila Nova da Baronia that serve as a base for creation and sharing, divided into two types:

1. Residencies / Courses
Designed for medium and long-term projects. This option offers accommodation and access to the grocery store and the entire house, making it ideal for developing a workforce in the following areas:
2. Single Day
Spira keeps the doors of the House and the Grocery Store open to welcome artists, artisans, designers, and trainers who wish to create special events. Whether it's for an Arts & Crafts workshop, a book launch, a technical workshop, or a film screening, we believe our spaces come alive through people.

SPIRA LAB EQUIPMENT
The Spira Universe also includes two pieces of equipment that reflect everything we believe in: appreciation, simplicity, and sharing.
Casa Spira is a traditional Alentejo house, open to anyone who wants to experience Spira Lab activities in a "shared house" setting and enrich their community experience; or, alternatively, to anyone who has new ideas and positive energy to offer our community in exchange for safe accommodation.
Mercearia Spira , in turn, continues the tradition of the village's people's grocery store, now offering Culture, a vibrant space for teamwork and renewed encounters: workshops, training, language classes and sharing of traditional knowledge, in an environment always open to creativity and collaboration.
Mercearia and Casa Spira, like Spira itself, are open to new ideas, people, and projects.
