Aldeias Criativas – Satélites Culturais na Serra do Gerês

Aldeias Criativas aims to enable local communities living in the Serra do Gerês mountain area to explore four artistic areas (music, painting, audiovisual, theatre) through artistic residencies and weekly workshops, bringing together intergenerational groups in co-creation processes inspired by and inserted in rural life.

It aims to share the arts and culture in an area where they tend to be less accessible, helping to fight social and demographic isolation and increasing the participants’ sense of community, while raising awareness of the environmental impact of the human footprint and promoting good agroecology practices.

Project supported under the 2nd edition of the PARTIS & Art for Change initiative, promoted by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation.
