The Cycle of Participatory Arts is a moment of revelation of the artistic proposals Dentes de Leão, constituted by the public presentation, in Évora and Sardoal, of the artistic results of the supported projects.
The program of the participatory arts cycle gives visibility to the work developed in the Artist Residencies and values places, materials and narratives with symbolic importance for the community of young people and artists Dentes de Leão and for the territories of Évora and Sardoal.
This is also a time for assimilation and discussion of the results of the participation process, a meeting between the project’s stakeholders and opening up to the community, promoting the celebration of the contributions of all the territories involved, valuing and making visible its multiple dimensions and the exchange of knowledge and resources specific to each one.
The Participatory Arts Cycle takes place in Évora, in an open studio format, on the 22nd and 23rd of October, and in Sardoal, on the 29th and 30th of the same month.

Dentes de Leitão is an Individual Arts platform that selects and promotes both renowned and emerging individualistic artists with transcendentalist values, and that focuses on the reflection and discussion on the role Art plays in the Herd Society. Initially created for Bairrada Artists, this project that now comes true in the form of a Variety Festival opens itself beyond borders and summons national and international artists dedicated to topics that are contemporary and fashionable amidst the Individual Arts. Based on formal meetings between the community, councils and lectures, and the greatest Art and Culture theoreticians, the artists shall work separately on the re-presentation and re-adaptation of artistic objects, aiming at making them profitable and far-reaching. Rural life serves as a creative motto to simplify critical thinking in aesthetical exercises that engage in a dialogue with the following dilemma: “Should Contemporary Art exit the large cities?”.

Talk about the project ✱ 29 oct ✱ 12h
Do you ever stop and listen to what surrounds you? What do you hear? What kind of feelings does it bring? And what kind of memories do those sounds awaken? em espera started as a gathering of sounds and comes to life as an immersive phone booth where soundscapes are produced based on the sounds that are available for discovery. It is an exercise of deep listening, and it seeks to give relevance to the places where the project is being carried out — Sardoal, Évora and Lisbon — through sound stimuli, turning the invisible visible. em espera materialises a place where the exercise of waiting reveals itself — waiting for a call, for someone, for that message that won’t arrive, for a green light to move forward… It is also a place that teases, encouraging the waiting and the necessary openness to uncertainty, and that unveils what surrounds us, as well as the neglectful way in which we deal with everyday life and the people in it.

The work Oferta manifests itself as places of offerings. They are interactive sculptures placed in public spaces in Évora and Sardoal made from marble and a cork tree. The function of the sculptures is twofold. Everyone passing by the works is free to leave something behind on the marble surfaces. There is also the option to take what’s been left there if one feels a connection to said object or might need it for practicalities. In engaging with the sculptures, passersby and audience will be involved in the constant change of aesthetics, symbolism and functionality. Some might make an offering while others may choose to reap the benefits.

PAREIDOLIA
Sardoal ✱ Parque de Merendas do Sardoal ✱ 29 oct ✱ 11h
Sardoal ✱ Centro Cultural Gil Vicente ✱ 30 oct ✱ 11h
Pareidolia was conceived based on a collective exercise of creative writing by the youngsters from the territories of Sardoal, Lisbon and Évora. Its goal is to capture the manifold impacts a place has on the individual making of each person. It materialises in a deck of illustrated fabric cards and in a performance, putting forward a creative reading of images trough words and movement, resorting to the individual intuition, references, experiences and knowledge of those reading and interpreting.

LINHA DE TERRA
Sardoal ✱ Jardim da Tapada da Torre ✱ 29 oct ✱ 15h
Linha de Terra is an invitation to imagiate and sprout possibilities of restoring our connection to nature. The earth is the womb that, when sown, shapes, forms and decomposes matter, generating life. How do we engage with our natural environment? How do we engrave our hands in it? Are we able to contemplate the creation of a shared fertile space? The hand is the gateway of the watching, listening, feeling, touching and communicating body. This natural tool acts as the mediator between interior and exterior, body and clay. As an intersecting bridge between sensitive realities, the hand reveals the power of the imaginable, of the process, of the experience. Our hands imprint the temporal traits of their existence into the clay, just as hands get shaped as they shape. Clay captures that passing and renders it immortal in a unique and enabling gesture.
