SDG: 5. Gender equality, 11. Sustainable cities and communities
Based on the concept of the hope chest (“enxoval” in Portuguese) as the social embodiment of the female condition that spans across different generations, the purpose of this project is to collectively create another ENXOVAL, built by men and women, that demonstrates a willingness to question and change gender stereotypes, that opens spaces of liberty, and that inspires a desire for change.
The ENXOVAL project encompasses Porto and Amarante, offering group training in Action, Reflection and Artistic Creation (ARCA) open to the intergenerational community and young people. Artists and participants will work together to produce performances, artistic installations and a regularly published fanzine.
