A Mina

A Mina worked with the people of São Pedro da Cova to reflect on the causes and consequences of an environmental crime that occurred in the region, helping to raise society’s awareness of these crimes and the urgency in preventing them from occurring in the future.

For three years, this project will work with two specific groups: former miners living in challenging socio-economic conditions and adolescents with social and economic difficulties, offering them different activities for training, enjoyment and artistic creation. The two performances resulting from this project will be included in the programme at some renowned performance halls, such as the São João National Theatre, in Porto, and Culturgest in Lisbon, drawing attention to the urgent need for environmental protection.

Project supported under the 1st edition of the PARTIS & Art for Change initiative, promoted by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation.
