Following Futurama's invitation, on 5 December, visual artist Horácio Frutuoso will travel to Baixo Alentejo for two sessions of the Futurama School.
In the morning, at Serpa Secondary School, he will share and involve the students in a session of experimentation between drawing, painting, the body and writing, in his way of answering the question “What is contemporary?”. This question constitutes one of the activities by Futurama School, which we continue to do throughout each year, promoting direct dialog between secondary school students and contemporary artists from various artistic fields.
In the afternoon, at Cercibeja in Beja, the artist sheds light on another important question. “What does it take?” is another of the Futurama School's activities aimed at vulnerable groups.
The Futurama School continues its mission to promote and stimulate direct dialogues with artists, knowledge of their practices and methodologies, the stimulation of critical thinking and also aesthetic and sensory experience in each of these sessions.
