Location
Studio Centro de Arte Moderna Gulbenkian‘O Mundo é a Nossa Casa’ is a participatory project developed by artist Carlos Bunga based on his exhibition ‘Inhabit the Contradiction’, with young people aged between 11 and 20 from the Zambujal neighbourhood in Alfragide, Amadora, who are part of the Percursos Acompanhados E9G programme, promoted by CooperActiva – Cooperativa de Desenvolvimento Social.
In this project, which expands the collaborative space for collective construction in places of education, mediation, and artistic creation, we start from the power of art to think about the world as we know it.
Between education and artistic practice, the experience was constructed as a space for amplifying the concerns, desires, and questions that resonate within those growing up in a world that is simultaneously promising and fractured.
This conversation features the artist alongside the young participants, in a sharing session that includes the screening of a short documentary film about the process.

Carlos Bunga
Carlos Bunga (Porto, 1976) studied at the Escola Superior de Arte e Design in Caldas da Rainha and he currently lives near Barcelona.
He creates process-oriented works – installations, performances, video, drawings, sculpture and painting – that refer to and intervene in their immediate architectural surroundings. While using ordinary, unassuming materials the resulting finished works involve a conceptual complexity derived from the inter-relationship between doing and undoing, between unmaking and remaking, between investigation and experimentation.
