“Where were you on April 25th?” is an iconic question and could be the starting question that children and young people ask their grandparents or other older people in the community, leading to share what it was like to “wake up to freedom” after a long period of repression. The question aims to make “common stories” known and heard. From these “common stories” we intend to raise many questions, but above all a daily-philosophical reflection on Freedom and the care it needs to survive.
Reflecting all of this in images and sounds through a participatory process, promoting a transgenerational artistic experience that involves the community is the “journey” that we intend to take at Fábrica das Artes. We propose to collect and record reports of episodes, poems, songs, “sound material” produced during workshops with different audiences, and with this create a soundscape that gives “voice” to the images on the mural.
