Abstract

This article is based on an ongoing project in Portugal (2019-2021) that aims to reflect on the less visible dimensions of young people's participation in contemporary public life, exploring what we call “Arts of citizenship”. This concept refers to non-institutional territories for the construction of citizenship and political participation that resort to diverse creative dynamics. We speak of the use of the body, of the streets and of other resources, for the construction of aesthetic languages ​​and contents (sounds, performances, visual artefacts, digital contents, etc.) within the scope of political participation and the exercise of citizenship. In this way, we seek to understand how the political agency is associated with the creative agency in youth, an articulation that has been widely studied and debated in the scope of youth studies. It is important to update this reflection, in a historical period that has been marked by a growing presence and mobilization of young people in favor of various causes.
