Programmatic pillar Identity — Lived Territories

Curated by Virgílio Borges Pereira

Walk oriented by Beatriz Lacerda, Daniela Ramos and Ricardinho Lopes

 

Drawing on firsthand experiences and designed by three individuals with distinct connections to the area, this walk offers a perspective on Campanhã through the lens of deep-rooted youth experiences and identities, youth policies, and the ways in which young people reinvent the space through collective initiatives.The route will begin at Praça da Corujeira, the heart of so many civic actions and movements, and will continue through Parque Alameda de Cartes, ending at the square in the Engenheiro Machado Vaz neighborhood, a hub of youthful vitality.

We invite walkers to engage in a dual exercise: to critically traverse these youth-centered geographies, challenging the homogenizing portrayals that so often marginalize them, and to question the place of one’s own body in a space typically observed from the outside. Amid the sharing of memories and proposals for the future, this walking cartography seeks to highlight the joyful diversity of growing up beyond the margins. 

Intervenients

Beatriz Lacerda

Beatriz Lacerda is educated in Acting (Balleteatro), Cinema (UBI) and Sociology (FLUP), areas she has been exploring in her mediation and artistic intervention journey though participatory visual methodologies. She has been accumulating professional and activist experiences that bridge cinema and sociology in the combat of ethnic-racial inequalities that affect primarily young people. Her connection to Campanhã is borne from these encounters and urgencies, through intervention projects like Clube de Cinema de Campanhã (Campanhã's Cinema Club), Rising Cinema, Look at Us and Cinema Insuflável (Inflatable Cinema), as well as other research-action focused projects that she has been working on, such as "Travessia” (Crossing) and "Pericreativity- Criatividades Periféricas: Juventude, Arte e Políticas Públicas em territórios Segregados" (Pericreativity—Peripheral Creativities: Youth, Art, and Public Policy in Segregated Areas). 

Daniela Ramos

Daniela Ramos holds a degree in Sports Science and grew up in the Sinergi@s Project in the Engenheiro Machado Vaz neighborhood, where she built her connection to the community and where she currently carries out outreach work as a member of the technical team, serving as a link between the neighborhood, young people, and the community. 

Throughout her career, she has participated in community and volunteer initiatives focused on youth, inclusion, and community engagement. She is also part of the Liga da Equidade (Equity League), a project that provides free soccer training for girls aged 12 to 18, contributing to greater visibility and female participation in sports within the community. 

Her connection to the neighborhood stems from her experiences in the Engenheiro Machado Vaz neighborhood and her desire to continue making an impact on people and younger generations through sports, community engagement, and community service.

Ricardinho Lopes

Ricardinho, born and raised in Campanhã—more specifically in the Cerco do Porto neighborhood—has had a passion for the arts, particularly music and dance, since he was a child. It was during his teenage years that he realized he could do more for the community on a social level by using art as a vehicle; from that point on, he began to participate in many projects, mainly in Campanhã. He currently serves as a community mediator and aims to be a voice and a role model for young people. His main interests are music and dance, along with a desire to make a difference in his community.
