The “Vozes de Barão” initiative, a «moment of conviviality and encounter between people and arts, where photography, choral singing, short stories, mulled wine and traditional recipes intersect», will take place on the 6th of January, between the 15:30 pm and 16:30 pm, at Espaço ConVida in Barão de São João.
This is an initiative carried out within the scope of the “Gatilho” social inclusion project, which aims to «strengthen the community spirit and increase recognition for inclusive art, through initiatives that equally involve the local community of Lagos», according to the association Questão Repetida, which promotes this PARTIS & Arts for change project in partnership with NECI – Specialized Center for Inclusive Citizens.
“Vozes de Barão” will feature the participation of the group “Gatilho”, made up of 9 NECI users.
For Elsa Mathei, director of the project, “Vozes de Barão” aims to “reinforce visibility for the importance of inclusive and participatory art, aiming to make a contribution to the equitable appreciation of all people who make up the local community of Lagos ».
