O primeiro impulso is a series of workshops held as part of Escola Vaga, which aims to introduce people beginning their journey to contemporary artistic practice and the actual application processes for cultural opportunities. Over the course of three sessions, Jesse James (artistic director), Raquel Palmer Oliveira (mediation and audience coordination), and Rubén Monfort (program coordination) from the Anda&Fala team share their experience, offering tools to interpret open calls, develop artistic ideas, and structure proposals. More than just teaching “how to apply,” the program seeks to demystify access to culture and promote autonomy in building artistic careers that
