The documentary has Portuguese subtitles, and will be followed by a talk with the audience.

This project is promoted by Agrupamento de Escolas Marquesa de Alorna and funded by PARTIS & Art for Change.

Sons de Mudança  is a project involving young people living in the area of the Marquesa de Alorna School Cluster (Lisbon), exploring the diversity and cultural richness of this territory. For this, it organises group sessions at the school and in diverse cultural venues, focusing on creation processes based on music and containing an aspect of reflection, along with visits to the area and participation in cultural events. The project aims to increase participation, in this part of the city, among young people from culturally marginalised areas, by allowing them to explore their own capacity for artistic creation, to think more deeply about themselves and about their relationship with cultural institutions in the region.
