In Visões Úteis we have a strong feeling of responsibility, not only as artists but also as a project supported by the state. As artists, we impose on the daily critical gesture of creation not only an aesthetical responsibility but also a political one. As a company supported by the state, every day we remember the effort that tax payers are doing and the trust they put on us in order to achieve public interest.
This is why, since 2009, the aesthetical project of Visões Úteis articulates itself with an Education Service, trying to deepen the bonds with the community in which we live and work. Here the processes of contemporary art are used as tools for the autonomy of all the citizens and specially for those who live in peripheral contexts (of geography, gender, generation, culture or race).

We want to be with you. Every year we develop courses and workshops which meet these action lines. Please contact us to find out more about the dates and times.
