Project Pergunta

Status Closed
​
The "Proyecto Pregunta" aimed to enhance debate in public space and consequently activate collective knowledge in our city.  In Faro, the project included five actions with different groups, where the public was invited to participate in a set of activities to promote questioning tools on various social issues and foster new types of discussion and civic awareness, culminating later in street interventions where a giant structure "walked" around the city of Faro presenting the results of this work and simultaneously encouraging the population to formulate new questions.

Inspired by the Artiști Împreună (Artists Together) project, we challenged artists from all over the Algarve to create pieces of art that both inform and raise awareness among the general public of the importance of following and complying with the recommendations put forward by health authorities during the state of emergency declared as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
