It was in the Bairro da Liberdade, in Campolide, Lisbon, that the artistic intervention of the Portuguese group Halfstudio was realized, within the scope of the project of the Portuguese Football Federation "Conquer the dream".
About the Project:
The Portuguese Football Federation is promoting a public art project, in partnership with several Municipal Councils and a collective of eight national artists. The project starts this week in Covilhã. Based on the "Conquer the Dream" movement, recently launched by FPF, it aims to inspire and motivate the Portuguese to pursue what makes them happy and the Seleção to conquer the next World Cup.
In this project, the body that oversees national football hopes to involve local authorities from north to south of the country, and counts on the collaboration of the curator Lara Seixo Rodrigues, creator of the project Lata 65 - workshop on Urban Art for the elderly and the Wool - Covilhã Arte Urbana , Estau - Estarreja Urban Art and Muraliza - mural art festival of Cascais.
The collective of artists selected by the FPF includes renowned names and talents emerging from the national urban art, with works elaborated from graffiti to stencil, going through all genres, aesthetics and techniques usually referred to as post-graffiti with contemporary influences of figurative illustration.
The pieces and murals to be developed under this project will be unique and unprecedented representations of the "Conquer the Dream" movement, without any profit and with the sole purpose of serving and inspiring the Portuguese, working in a more winning, ambitious and capable collective mentality.
