A movement of young creators · Rio de Janeiro

Instigating Inherent Creativity, Language, and Enterprise.

Our non-negotiable value is that: 'every creature has within the amazing power of creativity, as well as unlimitted talents BUT, often do not have a safe and encouraging platform, guided by instigators, not top-down robotization, to discover their amazing inner creativity and talents, and in cooperation UNLEASH and develop them, talents and arts, so they can live doing what they love most. "Inherent to all creatures is the endless power of creativity and an often unexplored MOSAIC of talents". (Wainer Guimarães)

Philosophy in brief

Arts & Social Transformation: Our Methodology is Horizontality. The Methodology was Developed by Wainer Guimarães. Horizontality rests on a universal truth: every creature possesses unlimited, untapped creative power, and talents. The Methodology: artists and teachers lead not as traditional instructors, but as instigARTivators who will seek to: instigate and spark this inner potential, often untapped among those in areas of poverty, guiding participants to create arts from `nothing` and do it in collaboration because:  "None of us is as good as all of us together." (unknown)

We Instigate Creativity

Activating inherent creativity and talents, from within. "Sustainable transformation of anyone only happens if starts within and is  carried forward in cooperation." (Wainer Guimarães)

We Stand Together

As arts are created and new artists arise, we come along facilitating the connections, creating platforms and bridges so the transformation is solid. (www.plataformamosaico.org)

Global Tools to Success

We further equip the new artists with ESL (eternoaprendiz.com), Entrepreneurship (e3brasil.com)  and platforms to exercise their talents and showcase their arts. (www.showontheroad.com)

Creating Arts Together

The same concept that happens in a collaborative space where young artists (primarily but not exclusively14 to 18 years of age) transform, within their cultural challenges raw talent into collective music, dance, and theater productions.

“We had just 3 hours in the morning on a Saturday to create a song about Arts & Social Transformation; together we created, without musical instruments, the song below, and presented at 3 pm the same day; CREATIVITY in COLLABORATION IS POWERFUL.”

Methodology:

VALUEARTS & ARTES MAZI

An ethical art platform and cooperative venture connecting original works created by youth with global markets, galleries, and collectors.

A partner school once gave us a single word from its yearly theme — “Empathy” — plus space and meals for some 30 young artists. By the end, they had turned that value into original skits and music, from their own perspective.

Methodology: ValorizARTES is a variation of C.A.T.: a company or school sponsors the intensive and offers one value, and the participants transform that value into music, theater and dance — applying Sirolli Enterprise Facilitation so artists market, value, and monetize their work without losing creative control.

Show on the Road (SOTR) & CAPSA

Mobile performance and community arts partnerships that take collaborative creations out of the studio and onto regional and global stages.

Bringing dynamic live art, cultural dialogue, and community transformation directly to public spaces and auditoriums.
