Since 2017, Braga is part of a network of 246 cities around the world that put creativity at the center of its social, cultural and economic development. At the time it was designated Creative City of UNESCO in Media Arts, the city assumed a commitment and plan of action for the next four years, which underpin the presence of this artistic field in the city through the creation of dedicated spaces, an Educational Service, a regular Media Arts program, among many other actions. This plan is currently under implementation and index is one of its visible forms.

INDEX is a Biennial of Art and Technology, part of the program of the city of Braga as a UNESCO Creative City for the Media Arts. We are interested in exploring artistic practices and critical thinking in which technology assumes a central role.
