The MANIF project was born out of a process of active listening, looking and attentive, critical and constructive thinking about the Place of Justice in our territory, and in the urgency demonstrated by its internal body of professionals, to weave new bridges of encounter that cross other areas of knowledge and reinforce foundations in dialogue with the entire society.

The heterogeneity of communities, the environmental and climate crisis, the growing space for public questioning about the different forms of Being and Being in the global and glocal world, drive the demand to make these spaces of representation, decision and judgment, unambiguously transparent and open.

The CAPC — Coimbra Plastic Arts Circle proposes a curatorship that reverberates the nearby territory, reflecting the nature of the entire project that will decisively address paths of courage and transgression of spaces and norms.

The mediation program for the exhibition “A Dispossessed Everyday Life”, curated by the Coimbra Plastic Arts Circle, is structured as a space for contact between art, cultural diversity and the natural environment. To enable these connections, the CAPC mediation will make use of visits to the exhibition of works from the CAPC Collection at the Pampilhosa Court, open to students, teachers and the entire Pampilhosa da Serra community. Experimentation and expression exercises with non-industrialized materials will also be carried out during student visits, as well as the screening of two short films that deal with cultural content from Guinea-Bissau and Cape Verde, activated by debates with the participants.

The exhibition of the CAPC collection at the Pampilhosa da Serra Proximity Court will be the starting point for a cycle of three artistic residencies at the Escalada School Group, which will develop the central themes for the Municipal strategy in the context of learning: Nature, Play, Identity.
