This masterclass explores the role of art and creativity as catalysts for activism and social transformation. Christus Nóbrega’s practice transcends boundaries between art, politics, and culture, fostering dialogues with the Brazilian presidency and Supreme Court to reflect on urgent social and political issues. His work will serve as a starting point for discussions and hands-on activities, where participants will create poetic social actions—artistic interventions that respond to contemporary challenges or personal concerns. These actions merge artistic expression with social engagement, harnessing creativity as a tool to question, provoke, and inspire change.
