MOMENTOS WORLD - ARTISTIC CLOUD CENTRE

An International Cultural Cooperation Platform connecting Europe and Brazil through Arts, Education & Cultural Diplomacy

The Artistic Cloud Centre is an international, decentralised cultural platform that develops artistic, educational and intercultural cooperation projects across Europe and Brazil.

Its core mission is to connect artists, institutions and communities through collaborative artistic processes that combine creation, education and cultural exchange in sustainable transnational formats.

At the heart of all work lies a simple principle:
art as a shared space of encounter, transformation and collective knowledge.

Rather than operating as a fixed institution, Momentos World functions as a living cultural network — a cloud-based artistic structure where collaboration emerges across borders, disciplines and contexts.

​

CONCEPT

Momentos World brings together artists from different cultural, linguistic and artistic backgrounds to develop a multidisciplinary platform for contemporary creation.

This platform is rooted in reciprocity, collectivity and artistic co-creation, where projects are not produced in isolation, but emerge through horizontal and synergistic collaboration.

Through these shared processes, Momentos World creates spaces of artistic training, research and exchange in which artistic languages meet, transform and expand.

These encounters generate not only artistic works, but also transformative educational experiences for all participants.

​

ORIGINS – VISION & EVOLUTION

Momentos World originated in 2011 in Vienna as a dance-theatre project conceived by choreographer Vinicius.

From the beginning, the vision was clear:
to connect people through the transformative power of art.

What started as a performative project gradually evolved into a transnational cultural structure, expanding across Austria, Brazil and Germany, with active hubs in Vienna, Innsbruck, Rio de Janeiro, Curitiba, Brasília, São Paulo and Münster.

Today, Momentos World operates as a multi-city cultural platform with long-term artistic and educational collaborations across three countries and seven cities.

​

TODAY – THE ARTISTIC CLOUD CENTRE

Today, Momentos World is defined as an *Artistic Cloud Centre *— a contemporary cultural structure that exists beyond a single physical institution.

It operates through a network of coordinators, artists and partner institutions who develop projects collaboratively from different locations around the world.

This structure allows Momentos World to function as a distributed cultural ecosystem, where artistic creation, research and education are developed both locally and internationally.

​

ARTISTIC & EDUCATIONAL FIELDS

Momentos World is structured into eight interconnected artistic and educational fields:

Momentos Dance Theatre (Performance & Creation)
Momentos Academics (Education & Research)
Momentos Books (Publications & Writing)
Momentos Cinema (Film & Documentary)
Momentos Conectarte (Digital Dialogues & Live Formats)
Momentos Media (Communication & Documentation)
Momentos Music (Sound & Composition)
Momentos Photography (Visual Arts & Documentation)

Each field operates independently while also contributing to interdisciplinary projects across the platform.

​

PARTNERSHIPS & COLLABORATION

Momentos World works in close collaboration with cultural institutions, universities, academies and artistic centres across Europe and Brazil, as well as with the Austrian, Brazilian and German Embassies.

We understand education and art as interconnected fields. For this reason, all our projects integrate a pedagogical dimension, offering students, artists and collaborators opportunities for artistic learning, professional practice and intercultural experience.

Our partners engage with us through both on-site and remote collaborations, contributing to artistic creation, research, production and cultural exchange.

​

STRUCTURE & SUSTAINABILITY

Momentos World is sustained by a collective of more than 30 coordinating artists working across three countries.

This decentralised structure is based on voluntary artistic collaboration and shared responsibility for the development of projects and infrastructure.

At the same time, the realisation of projects depends on partnerships and support from cultural institutions, sponsors, foundations, embassies and public funding bodies.

We understand this model as a form of shared cultural responsibility, where artistic production becomes possible through collective belief, institutional cooperation and sustainable support structures.
