Founded in 2010, the MãoSimMão (MSM) Cultural Association
is dedicated to contemporary art creation across various
disciplines. MSM focuses on blending art with science,
technology, and ecology, considering art and science as the
core drivers of human knowledge. Under the artistic direction
of Simão Costa, MSM collaborates with national and
international artistic, academic, and scientific institutions.
MSM’s focus revolves around interdisciplinary connections,
bridging art forms like music, dance, theater, and visual arts
with scientific and technological fields.
Over the past decade, MSM has brought together artists and
thinkers to explore transdisciplinary artistic creation,
technology, and ecology, forming a collective focused on
research, action, and thought.
Artists involved in projects of MSM prioritize research and
experimentation, merging diverse disciplines and engaging with
visual arts institutions while organizing their work
collaboratively across teams.
MSM's key areas of involvement include artistic creation and
circulation, research for reflection, and artistic mediation
facilitating access to creativity through innovative projects like
“Tactile Listening” and workshops exploring creative processes.
Overall, MãoSimMão is committed to pushing the boundaries of
contemporary art by integrating disciplines, fostering
collaboration, and providing access to creative experiences
through their diverse projects and activities.
