The construction of a common space is an action in constant movement.
The success of this construction depends largely on our capacity for nourishment, a permanent dialogue with this same space, of remaining attentive to its mutations and of acting strategically on its diversity. Observing, listening, making contact, transforming and acting on this space is a healthy routine that unites us to a common good. And if the formal strategy of this action is precious, its creative and poetic dimension is no less important. Hopefully, we are, in equal measure, rational and emotional, strategic and poetic, concrete and emotionally desirous of being as happy as possible. It is from this dichotomy that Marco Paiva proposes a meeting: Extraordinarily rational people who fall in love with the invisible to transform what already exists into something better.
“Let's design our territory, analyze it, look outside of it and return to make it grow. Everything is through the extraordinary capacity of art to make visible what is already there around the corner.”
