Join the Underdogs movement! Visit us now to explore exhibitions, public art projects, and exclusive artist editions that connect communities through creativity.
Established in 2010 and consolidated in its present form in 2013, Underdogs works with a diversified roster of Portuguese and international artists connected with the urban inspired contemporary art universe, fostering the development of close relationships between creators, the public, and the city with the aim of promoting art as an everyday experience.
Since 2021, Portuguese artist AkaCorleone has been taking his "Temple of Light" project to several locations, using a variety of mediums. Following a series of exhibitions, presentations and public art interventions, including an installation at Festival Breve 2022 in Belo Horizonte, in 2023 the artist returned to this city for a special participation in the second edition of Festa da Luz. Taking over one of the city's most iconic architectural landmarks - Viaduto Santa Tereza - he immersed the public in a large-scale and site-specific light installation.
This initiative was developed in line with the partnership that Underdogs has been establishing with PUBLICA - Art Agency.
