Alta(Mente)
Alta(mente) proposed a multidisciplinary artwork based on the history of Lisbon's Alta neighbourhood, inseparable from the rehousing processes in the territories involved in this project – PER 11, PER 7 and PER 9.
In a territory where the neighbourhoods have no name other than ‘PER’ (for Projeto Especial de Realojamento, or Special Rehousing Project), this project sought the stories of this territory. The main building blocks of the project were the residents: those who organise, those who participate, but also local artists who were called upon to mediate workshops with young residents that lead to the final show, in a kind of collage of pictures that, through art, gives a voice to the residents of these nameless neighbourhoods.
Project supported under the 3rd edition of the PARTIS & Art for Change initiative, promoted by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation.
