Who We Are

Premissa is a youth-led non-profit association based in the Azores. We focus on projects that bring together artistic practice, social research, and community-based methods — especially in collaboration with marginalized groups. Our center in Ponta Delgada hosts workshops, public events, as well as regular informal gatherings. A key part of our work is improving access: both in terms of participation in cultural and educational activity, and in building connections to resources and networks beyond the islands.

Why We Exist

We believe spaces matter. Premissa exists to provide a physical and cultural environment where expression, community care, and creative work are possible — especially for those who are often excluded from institutional spaces.
