The first in-person session at SUPŠ Helenín didn’t begin with a plan.
It began with curiosity.
Students, teachers, and artist David Strauzz came together to talk — not just about street art, but about how they see it, feel it, and imagine themselves within it.
What inspires you?
What do you notice in the city?
What do you want to leave behind?
The answers weren’t fixed. They moved, shifted, overlapped.
From there, the space opened.
We started looking at materials differently — not as something new, but as something already carrying stories. Old fabrics, forgotten objects, fragments of the school’s past. Hidden corners. Small discoveries. Things waiting to be seen again.
There were traces of history everywhere.
A factory owner who once collected.
Spaces that held memory.
Details that most people pass by.
And suddenly, these fragments began to connect.
Ideas of recycling turned into questions of transformation.
Objects became starting points.
Stories became material.
Nothing was final. Everything was in motion.
What remains now is a kind of shared anticipation — something quietly building.
Not yet visible, but already present.
The next step will continue this process.
Here, and beyond.
Because this is not happening in just one place.
At the same time, parallel journeys are unfolding in Portugal, Italy, and Spain — different contexts, different voices, but the same search: how to create something meaningful together.
Something that matters.
And this is only the beginning.
