Trégua
A multidisciplinary participatory art project with a particular focus on the visual arts, developed in collaboration with inmates at Funchal Prison and undergraduate students studying for a degree in visual arts at the University of Madeira (UMa).
Through a series of personal, social, technical and artistic development activities in the field of the visual arts in general and public art in particular, the concepts associated with “boundaries” and “freedom” are explored. This work results in public art installations with artistic and social impact.
Furthermore, the project encourages inmates to develop marketable products, such as T-shirts and printed cloth bags (screen-printed), which are sold to the community. This initiative, in line with the concept of Wearable Art, promotes social and labour reintegration through art.
Project supported under the 3rd edition of the PARTIS & Art for Change initiative, promoted by the Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and the ‘la Caixa’ Foundation.
