“Can Urban Art help build community?”
The public space will always be par excellence the true stage for interaction, exchange, awareness and the construction of Humanity, dignity and citizenship, in all its most varied dimensions. Assuming that art and culture are unique tools for critical thinking and unique engines for restoring and strengthening a sense of belonging to a community or territory and, consequently, contributing to its (re)construction and valorisation, we can understand that “Can Urban Art help build community?” Can we affirm that artistic creation in public space, that which starts from a participatory and/or community-based construction, can help achieve the results and realities that respond to the challenges of contemporary society?
Speaker:
José Carlos Mota, lecturer and researcher – Aveiro (Portugal)
