O Tempo Cura?
A participatory and community-based art project developed in a rural area, which combined theatre, movement and music to reflect on the impact of large-scale landownership in the Alentejo. Time, memory, community, social, political and cultural heritage, and systemic and transgenerational awareness were among the sub-themes explored in depth.
/
The project involved three working groups — Seniors, Community Theatre Group and Young People — promoting participatory and intergenerational processes, adapted to the specificities of each context. Through regular sessions, the focus was on fostering a sense of closeness, shared decision-making and valuing individual and collective experience. This process resulted in the co-creation of two artistic works based on the history of Herdade do Cerro in São Luís, and a documentary.
Project supported under the 3rd edition of the PARTIS & Art for Change initiative, promoted by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation.
