Novo Bowing
Novo Bowing is an artistic project aimed primarily at promoting the inclusion of the migrant population in Odemira through art.
Inspired by the experience of the BOWING project (2021-2023), promoted by the Lavrar o Mar Cooperative and coordinated by Madalena Victorino, this project creates opportunities for integration and mutual appreciation between Eastern and Western communities, based on an interdisciplinary, participatory and innovative approach.
A three-year project (2025-2027), Novo Bowing focuses on three action areas:
Schools – guest artists join teachers to enhance the learning of curricular subjects, with multicultural classes; People – collaborative cultural and artistic activities (LABAT’s) that encourage interactions between migrants and the local people; Labour – facilitating the development and professional training and autonomy of migrants through knowledge exchange.
Particularly of note in this new stage of the project is the creation of CASA NOVO BOWING: Planetary Encounters Centre, where most of the project’s activities take place.
