About This Opportunity
The Free Room aims to promote a global, innovative, cultural agitator idea that characterizes the ZERO Box Lodge project.
It is intended to be used as a laboratory space, but it can retain its original function – a room where you can sleep. In this case, a room, a space where, in addition to everything else that can be proposed, you can stay. It has a special feature: it’s free.
But there are rules! And to that end, we have created a participation regulation that defines how this space/installation works, and in particular which proposals can be part of it.
What You'll Get
Types: ACCOMMODATION, EXHIBITION, OTHER
The Free Room will be an installation, live or not, but permanent, at the entrance of ZERO Box Lodge, in Porto. It is a copy of the sleeping boxes but it is transparent, in glass, with the purpose to be a see through box, in order to work as a bubble of artistic experience. It has a bathroom that is not transparent. It will be occupied throughout the year and will allow the participation of all those who present artistic, cultural, innovative proposals of the most diverse and surprising formats and areas that will conform to the objectives and rules of The Free Room. The Free Room aims to promote the cultural agitator element that so much characterises the ZERO Box Lodge project. The Free Room is intended to be used as a laboratory space but can retain its original function – to be a room, a box, where one can sleep. Meaning, sleeping can also be an artistic installation. And for free. Participants will be able to use ZERO Box Lodge’s social spaces in accordance with any guest, including the sauna, respecting the staff’s recommendations. The Administration of ZERO Box Lodge may provide some previously agreed tools or materials.

Eligibility
Other Requirements
1.1 All citizens, nationals or foreigners with authorization to visit or stay in Portugal, can register to take part in the Free Room. Entities with an idea or project that can be exhibited/lived in the Free Room, in a glass experience box, visible to all those who circulate in the ZERO Box Lodge and to the entire community connected physically and virtually to the digital concept of the ZERO Box Lodge (streaming of activities taking place in the Free Room) can also apply. 1.2 Only people over the age of 18 can register. 1.3 Inhabiting the Free Room will always imply an idea of art, of installation, of bringing something new that is also an experience for those who constantly watch what goes on inside the glass room. 1.4 Anyone submitting a proposal for the Free Room must send details of the project, the start and end date of the activity. The duration of the proposals may vary from one day, one week, one month – whichever is most suitable for the purposes of the proposal, and which is approved by the ZERO Box Lodge Management. 1.5 Participations or proposals that contain content that could be considered offensive or morally questionable, such as scenes of explicit sex, violence, etc., will not be considered valid. 1.6 No dangerous objects, explosive or flammable items or any other type of weapon that could endanger participants, visitors/guests or ZERO Box Lodge staff should be brought into the Free Room. 1.7 Projects can be developed in groups, although the maximum capacity for overnight stays is 2 people. This rule may, however, be changed if the administration finds that it is justified, within the scope of a proposal submitted and selected, to have a larger number of people staying overnight in space. 1.8 Only non-profit or commercial proposals will be considered for the Free Room, unless there is a justifiable reason related to the intervention/activity and after agreement by the ZERO Box Lodge administration. 1.9 Participation in the Free Room may not be related to or used for fraudulent, illegal, dangerous, defamatory or obscene purposes.
