Horta de Deméter

In a field of ancestral land in Quinta da Cruz in Viseu, a group of young horticulturists-creators have joined forces with a team of professional artists and horticulturists.

The goals was to develop an unusual and alternative space, combining land crafts and the visual and performing arts. The project offered an experiential learning opportunity for children and young people from diverse institutional and socioeconomic context in Viseu. Horta de Deméter was created from the desire to fight social inequality by creating participatory art works in an unusual and innovative space.

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