Freda Paranhos, President of TransParadise, took part in an enriching live discussion about the cultural market in Portugal, sharing valuable insights on the opportunities and challenges faced by artists and cultural professionals. Her contribution emphasised the importance of inclusion and diversity in the sector, as well as the various support initiatives available, such as grants and funding programmes.
TransParadise’s participation not only enriched the discussion but also reinforced the association’s commitment to promoting art and culture in inclusive and welcoming environments.
