"Sobre o anseio, o gesto, o grito" strives to build a possible world, a space where art doesn't just exist but actively amplifies its cultural impact. The show is designed to rethink how we collectively construct our shared understanding and emotional connections, prompting reflection on our individual responsibility in shaping our social landscape.
