Bowing

Bowing is a rural participatory art project created for migrant people from Southeast Asia and Eastern European countries who work in the municipality of Odemira, mostly at multinational companies dedicated to intensive farming, and their children who are attending school in the area.

The artistic work with migrants (using dance, music and video as universal languages) aimed to dignify, appreciate and explore the intrinsic elements of foreign cultures to create a place to share and merge knowledge, sensitivities and identities with the Portuguese culture.

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