Abstract(s)
The text focuses on a series of projects developed by Portuguese artist
Alexandre Farto, aka Vhils, which involved local communities in collaborative artistic
practices. Methodology: The artistic practices analysed are part of the methodology known
as community-based art. The data was analysed by observing these projects and
interviewing the artist. Results: Taking two of Vhils's projects that involved community
participation as a starting point, we analysed them based on the documents collected,
namely videos, photographs and interviews. Discussion: The visual and discursive
dimensions of these projects and the information gathered from the artist who mediated this
whole process allowed us to access a set of meanings that crossed artistic, social and political
domains. Conclusions: The articulation of these domains in the context of artistic processes
that require community participation allows their impact to be significantly amplified, since
it promotes greater engagement, empowerment and social cohesion in that community.
