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.
Underdogs was invited by Norfin to curate a temporary public art installation for the new Oriente Green Campus building complex being constructed in Moscavide. This large-scale artwork, created by Portuguese collective Halfstudio, comprises a series of sculptures taking the form of inspirational words. Chosen during a workshop involving community members from the Moscavide and Portela parish, and conducted by socio-cultural educator and artist Maze, these words reflect the values and desires of the local population for this area of the city.
The unveiling of the installation was accompanied by a performance with artistic direction by Iminente, which included music, spoken word and contemporary circus.
