If, in 2018, we were going underground to see the works of 40 artists in metro stations, now we look upwards: at the flagpoles of Porto's iconic buildings.
Designed and created especially for this exhibition, there are 30 artistic projects that will be printed on flags and will be visible on the streets of Porto from October 18 to December 20.
The participation of Portuguese and international artists reiterates the global dimension of this project, which is meant as a possibility of rereading the city through art.

Ver as vozes dos artistas

We live in a strange age: museums see the number of visitors growing steadily, the numbers of auctioned sales of international contemporary art leave us appalled, however the presence of artists in the public space - and intellectuals in general - has been decreasing in a worrying way.
For everything (politics, football or social life) there appear gold-paid commentators. But who asks, nowadays, what artists think about what surrounds them? Gone are the days when philosophers would spend more than an hour on any subject on public television.
The voice of art does not solve problems, it does not foster political, ethical or social solutions but presents itself as discursive, a voice for a particular and unique view of the world. It adds to it a derisory, critical density and, always, when it is truly a matter of art, questions the assimilated standards as normatively correct or expectant.
Let these voices be heard. Or in the case of the visual arts, let's see the voices of the artists. One day we will regret ignoring them.
