A conversation about the definition and development of the educational project Núcleo de Arte da Oliva an emergent art centre located in the small industrial city of São João da Madeira. Taking advantage of our young age we’re going through a process of rethinking the identity and territory of action of the project in which education is paramount. The presence of a multifocal thinking leads us to places of daily research in an experimental field where the curatorial and the educational walk together. We want to share and discuss this (de)balanced platform of action where artists, curators, educators, audiences, politicians and others are constantly crossing boundaries.
