DJ Stingray 313, Los Bitchos, Gayance, Kokeshi, Violet, and SoundPreta help complete the artist programme for Parallel Society Lisbon 2026.
The two-day gathering runs from Friday, March 6th and Saturday, March 7th in Lisbon’s Marvila neighbourhood.
Expect an exploration of the intersection of civic technology, decentralised systems, and experimental culture, uniting hacktivists, technologists, researchers, activists, and artists.
Friday is dedicated to collaborative research, experimentation, and knowledge exchange through the event’s [un]conference.
Participants will engage in workshops, discussion circles, protocol labs, hackspaces, co-design sprints, and hands-on sessions across thematic zones focused on decentralisation, privacy, open source culture, community autonomy, and tooling stewardship.
Speaker include Aaron R. Day (OwnNothing.org), Dr Agata Ferreira (CLO, Institute of Free Technology), Amir Taaki and Rose O’Leary (both DarkFi), Fatemeh Fannizadeh (Web3 Lawyer), Harry Halpin (CEO & Co-Founder, Nym Technologies), and Pavel Zoneff (Tor).
Saturday is a community-focused cultural celebration, showcasing a dynamic mix of international and local talent across club, live experimental, and performance-focused music.
Apparat, Gilles Peterson with MC Rob Galliano, Clark, Moses Boyd, Calibre, Kode9, Maria Amor & Shcuro, Chima Isaaro, Afrojamslx, Nelson Makossa, and Collective Unconscious are among the artists performing.

Parallel Society’s programme is further supported by cultural coalition partners Fábrica Moderna, Rare Effect, Manja, Radio Quantica, and COOP.

This edition reflects our commitment to experimentation, shared authorship, and creating tangible opportunities for artists working outside conventional systems."
