^Matadero Madrid is an international centre of culture and artistic creation run by Madrid City Council. Its various spaces host an extensive programme of exhibitions, plays, festivals, concerts, films and audiovisual projects, conferences, conversations and workshops, artistic residencies, educational programmes and activities for families.

It is a vibrant place, dedicated to the enjoyment of culture, to artistic experimentation and to discussing ideas in the fields of the visual, performing and visual arts, design, literature, digital culture, architecture and many other creative practices. Its programme is constructed through the diversity of the institutions that make up the Centre and through ambitious transversal and interdisciplinary lines of work in connection with international networks.

Matadero fosters the encounter of languages in search of exchange and contamination between different modes of cultural production in a way that facilitates interdisciplinary experiences. It is an ecosystem whose various spaces accommodate a wide range of uses, initiatives and stakeholders. An ecosystem in which artistic knowledge is combined with scientific and technological research. An ecosystem that operates at the local level and which is also alert to issues that have a global impact.
