Living in a multicultural city, but historically marked by sharp socio-economic inequalities, leads to development of strategies to combat social stratification and exclusion. Saramandaia is low income, majority black community located within noble neighborhoods in Salvador.

Like many other similar communities, it is characterized by abject poverty and insufficient assistance by governmental bodies, and consequently resulting in high rates of violence. In this context, 3 residents have elaborated strategies that seek to reclaim the historical identity of its residents.

Despite facing multiple barriers, in 2003 they founded the conscious art project, an initiative that has been transforming the community's reality, by providing assistance young men and women, aiming at transforming their unfavorable conditions of socio-economic exclusion.

In this itinerary we will visit this important social project that seeks to transform their lives through arts and sports, utilizing graphite, capoeira, boxing, percussion and circus organized in courses and workshops. This tour promotes interaction and participation between our clients, the students and members of the community, so that we can experience the transforming power of these initiatives.
