What is Matra

MATRA is a culture-forward design festival where creativity becomes a shared cultural language.

Across three days, MATRA brings together design, craft, cuisine, material intelligence, emerging technology, and community in a setting designed to feel immersive, grounded, and joyful.

Step into an experience where design reveals itself through what we make, what we eat, what we wear, what we build, and what we live with.
