POR UM GALHO – social and artistic intervention with nature

The main goal of Por um Galho was the inclusion and appreciation of vulnerable older people.

Active aging was promoted by involving the participants in the design, implementation and exhibition of ephemeral artistic installations based on nature and built using natural materials. The installations were strategically placed at different locations in the Northern Litoral Natural Park, along the region’s existing and recognised walking routes. An ‘environmental art’ project that seeks to build mutual relationships between art, nature and society.

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