ZDB is an independent non-profit organisation and has made a place for itself as a
promoter of a series of different activities that have in common the assertion of
emerging and contemporary art.

As a creation, production promotion and diffusion structure of emerging art, ZDB
presents its own projects, and at the same time functions as a privileged space of
experimentation and confrontation of proposals that deal with contemporary
aesthetics and technologies.

During the 14 years of its existence, it has occupied abandoned buildings in strategic
places of the city: Bairro Alto, Chiado and Cais do Sodré, developing its projects.
Since 1997, ZDB occupies a small palace –2500 m2– loan by the state where are
developed the visual arts, music and educational programs, and other space called
NEGÓCIO, an old stable, for experimental and laboratorial works and presentations in
performance arts.
We can divide the work of ZDB in the following areas:
