Art has the incredible power to transcend boundaries, convey powerful messages, and bring communities together. The recent collaboration between renowned artists Add Fuel and Half Studio Signs has beautifully demonstrated this, as they unveiled their mural titled “O MUNDO (TAMBÉM) É TEU / THE WORLD (ALSO) IS YOURS.”

The mural carries an inspiring message that resonates with the local community of Bairro da Torre. Curated by Infinito Festival, the inspiration behind the mural is to remind individuals that the world is not distant or unreachable—it belongs to each and every one of us.

What makes this collaboration special is the fusion of art and heritage. While Half Studio Signs’s message aims to empower and uplift, Add Fuel has incorporated painted tile patterns rooted in Portugal’s artistic heritage. These patterns were redesigned from one of the many tiles present in Cascais, serving as a visual bridge between the past and the present, connecting the neighbourhood’s history to its future.

The result is a stunning visual representation of the intertwining of cultural symbols with an empowering message. The mural stands as a reminder to the youth that their dreams are intertwined with the strength of their heritage. It serves as a testament to the fact that they carry the spirit of generations before them and that their potential is as limitless as the world itself.
