General Information

Demonstra is an online research platform that aims to map, stimulate and disseminate the artistic production of people with disabilities. The project was conceived with the objective of bringing the public closer to studies and artistic practices related to the discussion of the non-normative body in contemporaneity. This approach will be made through initiatives that enable the sharing of knowledge regarding the following artistic areas: painting, drawing, performance, video, photography, sculpture, new media and/or interdisciplinary intersections.
This project arose from the investigation that the artist Daniel Moraes has been developing in the Master's Degree in Painting, at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the University of Lisbon. Emphasizing the poetic experience of artists with disabilities, his research starts from the personal experience with their own physical deformity and extends to the symptoms and symbols of contemporary artistic "decorporeity".
In this same sense, Demonstra comes to claim the importance of an artistic event idealized, produced and inhabited, for the most part, by people with disabilities. This event will seek, above all, to dignify artistic practices around accessibility, in order to place these professionals as protagonists of their production.

Mission and Objectives

01. PROMOTE the cultural accessibility of artwork and other disability-related research;
02. MAPPING the production of artists with disabilities;
03. STIMULATE artistic projects that discuss issues about dissident corporeality;
04. CREATE inclusive communication networks that generate opportunities for artists with disabilities;
05. EXPAND knowledge about these artists in order to level opportunities in the artistic field.

Main Projects / Activities

In its first edition, Demonstra proposes an online artistic residency with the theme Poéticas Informes, which seeks artists from Portuguese-speaking countries who deal with the experience of the non-normative body in contemporary times. The project focuses on the development of each artist's research, offering resources so that everyone can develop their ideas. The residency program aims to stimulate conversations, promoting exchanges between artists, curators, mentors and the general public.
Demonstra artistic residency will take place between January 27th and April 9th, 2022. It will consist of ten virtual collective meetings, with weekly periodicity, on Thursdays, from 19:30 to 21:30 (Portugal time zone). These dates may change due to an unforeseen event, being rescheduled on a date to be agreed with the residents.

January 27, 2022 (Thursday): Start of activities at the residence.
April 7, 2022 (Thursday): Last collective meeting of the residence.
April 9, 2022 (Saturday): Online Seminar and Exhibition

How can you contribute to the Network in your country?

Demonstra comes to claim the importance of an artistic event idealized, produced and inhabited, for the most part, by people with disabilities. This event will seek, above all, to dignify artistic practices around accessibility, in order to place these professionals as protagonists of their production. This initiative is one of the selected projects of the Artes Sem Limites Support Program, promoted in 2020 by the Directorate General of Arts (DGArtes), which seeks to encourage physical, social and intellectual accessibility to culture in Portugal.

Why do you want to join the ALF Network?

Because we are looking for more partners and supporters of the Demonstra project in order to strengthen our network of contacts and activities in the field of visual arts aimed at artists with disabilities in Portugal, Brazil and Europe.
