Matadero Madrid is a living, changing space catering for creative processes, participatory artistic training and dialogue between the arts. It was created as a contribution to reflection on our contemporary socio-cultural environment, as well as to support processes for constructing the culture of today and tomorrow.

As rehabilitation work on the 148,300 m2 of buildings progresses, artistic activities are being stepped up in Matadero Madrid, with the focus on drama, the visual arts, design, music, dance, architecture, urbanism, landscapism, fashion, literature, thought and cinema.
