A partnership between the Serralves Foundation and Porto Municipal Council, intergenerational project ‘I am 25’ brings together the users of Day Care Centre Bom Pastor (Portuguese Red Cross) and the children and adolescents living at Centre António Cândido. The project’s basic premises are that the relationship between different generations plays a crucial structuring role at all ages and that contemporary art is a unique stimulus to creativity and personal expression.
This year sees the project’s seventh edition: a time to reflect, reinforce ties and foster the will to carry on. A time to explore the limitless potential of every instant and see it as unique and unrepeatable, beyond the challenges it may present. Inspired by Sérgio Godinho’s song Dias úteis [Working Days], the group experienced the routines that mark everyday life to reassert the merit of simple things and the transforming value of affects and true joy.
