Sara Aires (PT)
Lisbon, 1991 I’m a cultural producer and music programmer. My studies are a BA in Political Science and a postgraduate degree in Philosophy and Artistic Studies. My professional career in the cultural sector started at SMUP, a century-old musical society in Parede linked to free jazz and improvisation, of which I was head of production between 2017 and 2019, and in March 2023 I was elected president of the association. In 2020, I became Communications Manager at Galeria Zé dos Bois, producing the activities and events developed at NOVO NEGÓCIO. In 2021 I ventured further into the world of cultural communication in the 3rd edition of the Moving Reunion Biennial Performing Arts Meeting. I’m also one of the founding members of the Rede More association. After a brief stint at the 15th Festa do Cinema Italiano, as social media manager, I joined the Rua das Gaivotas 6 team as executive producer, until July 2024. Currently, I’m the musical programmer for SMUP, a position I’ve held since October 2022PRO
