Participatory and community artistic practices gather a growing interest nowadays. The construction of these practices has taken place in a double sense: if, on the one hand, contemporary artistic creation has deepened its participatory dimension, on the other hand, education and community and social intervention have resorted to artistic languages ​​as an alternative to traditional approaches.

At a time of particular danger for democracies and for our collective experience, this book seeks to combine contributions from art, participation and politics, in an intense dialogue between theory and practice.

Based on studies carried out by the author in Portugal and Brazil in the last four years, unprecedented in their size and depth, involving 332 people from 23 theatre groups, the fundamental elements of participatory and community artistic practices are discussed, as well as the strengths and weaknesses that creative processes entail in their connection to civic and political participation.
