Dança para a inclusão: movimento em foco

The project sought to promote social inclusion and the civic and cultural participation of people with and without disabilities in Aveiro, through social and artistic empowerment activities.

By exploring movement and urban experience, it questioned the relationships between participants and public space, and how they are perceived, how they experience the city and how they wish to participate in its life. Through first-person narratives, people with and without disabilities expressed their views and called for an inclusive redesign of the city, where the focus was on movement. Dance, photography and creative interaction between people with and without disabilities developed as tools for expression, empowerment, confidence, justice and active presence in the area, celebrating the indivisible relationship between art and life.

Project supported under the 3rd edition of the PARTIS & Art for Change initiative, promoted by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation.
