Armazém da Utopia
Armazém da Utopia is a cultural center inside Warehouse 6 on the Gamboa docks, facing Praça Muhammad Ali and run since 2010 by the Companhia Ensaio Aberto.
The warehouse hosts cultural festivals such as Festival do Rio, Rio H2K, and Tudo é Jazz no Porto, alongside music, dance, and visual-art productions.
In March 2017 its façade gained a set of graffiti murals reinterpreting slavery-era works by the French artist Jean-Baptiste Debret, alongside panels of hand-painted tiles made by students and teachers from six municipal schools.
